Some suspected ritualists have on Saturday, November 20, killed an 11-year-old Almajiri named Muhd Yunusa in Bauchi State, removing his brain.
According to Nigerian Tribune, the sad incident occurred in Dutsen Kofar Wambai area in the Bauchi metropolis.
The assailants had called two Almajiri pupils who were going about begging for alms. They then lured them into a dark corner pretending that they wanted to give them something.
The ritualists smashed the skull of one of the boys, removed his brain and escaped to an unknown destination.
Fortunately, the other boy escaped from the attackers and let the residents know what had occurred.
At the point when the residents got to the scene of the incident, they found the dead body of the student and called the police.
Confirming the sad incident, the Spokesperson of the Bauchi State Police Command, SP Muhammad Ahmad Wakil revealed that the “police received a distress call from a good Samaritan that unknown persons have used a stone and broke the skull of an Almajiri pupil.”
“The two Quranic school pupils are Muhd Yunusa 11 years and Aminu Yusuf 12 years.
They were deceived by unknown persons who used a stone to break the skull of Yunus and escaped to an unknown destination.”
Upon receiving the distressed call, Ahmed Wakil said, they went to the scene of the incident where they met Yunus lying in his blood.
He was taken to the Specialist Hospital Bauchi for autopsy and was confirmed dead upon arrival.
Meanwhile, the State Commissioner of Police, Sylvester Abiodun Alabi has directed the Divisional Police Officer DPO, A Division, to act with immediate effect.
He ordered that they should not leave any stone unturned and ensure they bring the perpetrators of this dastardly act to book.
The PPRO went on to advise parents to monitor the movement of their children.
According to him, they should not allow them to answer calls from strangers in the name of giving them something.
