The incident occurred around 2.30pm last Tuesday on Sokoto Road and prompted good samaritans to rush him to the St. Gerald Catholic Hospital, Kakuri for medical treatment.
The attack was so violent that he almost lost his sight. He told journalists, on Thursday, that he was taking his lunch when the boys numbering about six descended on him querying why he was not fasting.
according to sources, His exact words: “I went to buy wood to do some work, when I came back, I bought food to eat. As I was eating, about six Hausa boys came and asked me whether I was a Muslim or a Christian. I did not answer them. They asked me why was I not fasting with them? I told them that I am not a Muslim.
“Before I knew it, one of them slapped me. As I stood up, the rest came and surrounded me and started attacking me with knives. I don’t know them. Nobody could come to my aid because of the type of dangerous knives they were carrying.
“They used cutlasses, scissors and knives on me until I became unconscious, I don’t even know who brought me to the hospital,” he said.
Meanwhile, Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, has asked the state’s police commissioner to fish out those responsible for the dastardly act.
I really hope they fish out the culprits, to make sure that such a thing doesn`t happen again.
