“Mustapha just left my house that Thursday night riding on his bike to Gwargwada. Shortly after the university of Abuja staff quarters, the hoodlums on bike stabbed him and escaped with his bike,’’ he said.

He said the hoodlums also went away with his android phone, saying the victim was later rushed to the hospital where he was undergoing treatment.

Adamu said the incident had been reported to the vigilantes in Gwagwalada, even as he said efforts were still ongoing to trail the hoodlums and recover the bike.
