Safiyanu stated on his hospital bed that during the march one person called “Lado went to their house and brought two knives, stabbing him on his hand which resulted in the serious injury he sustained.

According to him said that “Students rescued him and took him to hospital and where they were asked to bring a police report, which they did before they gave him a first aid treatment.

“But because Gadau Hospital can’t treat his hand, they were referred to Federal Medical Center Azare.”

Some of the University students told newsmen that the issue of thuggery and phone snatching is becoming alarming in Gadau town.

The students call on the state government under the leadership of Governor Bala Mohammed Abdulkadir, security agencies, and the community to come and intervene in order not to experience this act of thuggery again within the institution.

They added that the actions of the thugs and miscreants instill fear in the minds of many varsity students and residents in the town.

The Bauchi State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) SP Mohammed Ahmed Wakil said he will contact the Divisional Police Officer in charge of the area over the incident before he will get back to Journalists.

But a policeman in Itas Gadau said that they made frantic efforts to curtail the incident from degenerating into violence.
