…3 suspects arrested

A 20-year-old tricyclist, Ahmad Abubakar Sani, has revealed how robbers stabbed him on the stomach while stealing his phone and tricycle.

Sani said the three robbers accosted him in Sauna Kawaji area of Nasarawa LGA around 12am while he was in search of passengers and boarded his tricycle and directed him to take them to a nearby location.

He said, “While we were moving, one of them held my neck and another stabbed me with a knife on my stomach which brought out my intestines. He stabbed me again on my back. They then left with my phone and the tricycle. I was able to run to the roadside while holding my intestines inside my cap to look for help. I fell by the roadside and lay there.

“Later that morning, a group of women saw me and alerted residents who rushed me to the Sir Sunusi Hospital.”

He added that, “When I was on the roadside with my intestines outside, I was just waiting for death. I never thought I would survive. I didn’t even know when I was rushed to the hospital. But I thank God that I am now okay.”

However, parading the suspects arrested in connection with the crime, the police command said three suspects were arrested and that they had confessed to the crime.

One of the suspects, identified simply as Aliyu, alias Pastor, said, “We went with the intention to buy cannabis, but later we decided to collect the tricycle.”
