In a disturbing incident, unidentified assailants launched a violent attack on a student of Taraba State University, Shishi Ali Ibrahim, also known as Akaha, in Jalingo. The horrifying incident unfolded around midnight on Wednesday, October 4, 2023.

Under the cover of darkness, these assailants invaded Akaha’s dormitory, subjecting him to a vicious assault with a menacing machete. Distressed by the severity of his injuries, his neighbors promptly rushed him to Nati Zion Clinic for urgent medical attention.
