Suleiman , father of a 26 - year -old Office Technology student of the Federal Polytechnic Bauchi, Sadiq Adamu , who was stabbed on Monday by a knife -wielding man , has appealed to the Bauchi State governor -elect, Bala Mohammed , and other Nigerians to save his son from dying.
Sadiq received life -threatening injuries when he was stabbed as he joined supporters who trooped out in Bauchi to celebrate Mohammed ’s victory on Monday night.
His attacker , Mohammed Bako , 33 , who was being chased for allegedly attempting to steal a motorcycle in the Yelwa Makaranta area of the state capital , stabbed Adamu in his stomach in front of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University at about 11 .55 pm , a few minutes after he had stabbed and killed one Rabiu Hassan , 37 , opposite the College of Agriculture .
While the suspect , a 200 level Mathematical Science student of ATBU, was arrested by the police , Adamu is in critical condition at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital , where doctors are battling to save his life .
His 68 -year - old father , who spoke to reporters , said , “They have carried out all the tests but the abdominal test is expensive and it is difficult for us to raise the money, which is N 40 , 000 .
“I have been trying to raise the money and the doctors have told us that we have to do it in good time .”
He added , “I am appealing to people God has blessed , especially our governor - elect, who my son came out to celebrate , to help us .
“Anyone that is touched and wants to help us can come to the hospital to see the condition of my son . Life has been pretty difficult for us .”
