Victor, HND I student in the Accounting Department of Kogi State Polytechnic,
Lokoja, said he did not know what pushed him to stab his best friend, Akoh Abuh
Samuel, to death.
The
deceased Samuel was a final year student of the Department of Public
Administration in the same institution.
The
assailant who brutally attacked his best friend for unknown reasons is believed
to be mentally unstable.
The
late Samuel, who according to source was best of friend to the assailant since
their National Diploma days, was discovered with machete cuts on his forehead
and neck. He died on the way to the Kogi State Specialist Hospital, Lokoja.
According
to preliminary report, the suspect claimed that he didn’t know what got into
him.
Confirming
the incident, the Kogi State Polytechnic Public Relation Officer Luke Yakubu
explained that the assailant started acting funny towards his roommate, who is
now late, on Sunday night.
“When
the late roommate and neighbours discovered this strange behaviour coming from
Victor, they took him to the Church for prayers.
“They
were best of Friends since their National Diploma days and also attend the same
fellowship. Later that night, nature caught up with the deceased, and his
friend used machete to kill him.
“He
told us that he threw the cutlass inside a well after stabbing his friend. He
even came back to the room where the incident occurred without running away.
“The
Police is still carrying out their investigation, because he was not mad when
he gained admission into our institution. All this so called strange behaviour
started on Sunday,” he explained.
The
case has been transferred from the B Division of the Nigeria Police Force
Lokoja to the State Criminal Investigation Department.
