A Senior Secondary Class 2 student identified as Ahmed Umar Goni has allegedly used a razor blade to slit the neck of Jubril Sadi Mato, a JSS1 student of Elkenemy College of Islamic Theology in Borno State.
It was gathered that the incident happened on January 16, 2022, when Ahmed sent Jubril, popularly known as Ramadan, on an errand but Jubril refused to go.
Angered by his refusal, Ahmed was said to have gone to Jubril’s hostel at 8:30 pm to forcefully take him away for disobeying him.
In a bid to punish the junior student, Ahmed was said to have cut him on the neck with a razor blade, which affected some veins of the 11-year-old boy.
While struggling in pain to get to the principal’s office, Jubril became unconscious and was rushed to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the University Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH).
It was gathered that Ahmed has been arrested and handed over to the police. Also, the Network for Civil Society Organisation Borno Chapters, Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), The National Human Right Commission(NHRC) and the Federation of International Female Lawyers(FIDA) have vowed to investigate the case to ensure that the perpetrator is brought to book.
