In the Dan Rimi area of Fagge LGA, Kano State, a 20-year-old man named Yusuf Muhammad has reportedly been stabbed into a coma by his neighbour, Hassan Wanzami.
According to City & Crime reports, Wanzami, a local barber, encountered Muhammad and his friends playing football in the neighbourhood. Alleging that they were spoiling the frontage of his house, Wanzami attempted to halt their game. Despite the young men relocating to the next street, Wanzami persisted in his pursuit.
A friend of the victim recounted, “Not satisfied with their relocation, Wanzami chased them with a knife and stabbed Muhammad on the neck.”

Muhammad’s mother, Rabi, recalled the distressing moment, stating, “I was at home around 11am when they brought him (the victim) with blood all over his body. I asked him who did that to him, and he said it’s Mallam Hassan. I asked him what he did to him, and he said nothing. That’s when I took him to the hospital.”
She added, “Some elders in the area had to intervene because his friends and other concerned people had already started coming out with sticks and knives to attack Mallam Hassan. The police were called, and they took him away.”
Upon inquiry, Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, the spokesperson of the police command in Kano, affirmed that they are investigating the issue.
She further said, “Some elders in the area had to intervene because his friends and other concerned people had already started coming out with sticks and knives to attack Mallam Hassan. The police were called and they took him away.”
