A trader, Alhaji Mustapha Musa, has been allegedly stabbed to death by suspected robbers who attacked his residence behind Niger Motel in Suleja, Niger State.
A police report made available on Monday indicated that the incident was reported at the A Division in Suleja.
According to the report, the attackers stormed the victim’s residence about 3 a.m. on Sunday, stabbed him to death and carted away his mobile phones and motorcycle.
Police operatives visited the scene and evacuated the corpse to the General Hospital, Suleja.
The deceased was a trader at the Babangida Modern Market, Suleja.
He is survived by three wives and 11 children.
Amina Mohammed, the first wife of the deceased, said she heard her husband screaming until she could no longer hear his voice.
The second wife, in whose room the incident reportedly occurred, was hospitalised following the attack.
Jamila Usman, sister to one of the wives, said three men entered the house, although she could not confirm whether there were others outside the gate.
According to her, the victim offered to give them money, but they refused, cut open his stomach and killed him.
“They did not leave until they confirmed that he was dead. They took his two phones, one of the wives’ phone, his ATM card and motorcycle,” she said.
The police said investigation into the case is ongoing in order to apprehend the attackers and bring them to justice.
