A College of Education student has been arrested for apparently stabbing his bestie to death over a girl.
The suspect, who is identified as Kamaluddeen Musa; a 22-year-old, was said to have attacked and killed the victim, Usman Mani Tiffi on Monday, November 28, 2022.
It is gathered that both the suspect and the victim were friends and final-year students of the Adam Tafawa Balewa College of Education.
Reports have it that trouble came into view after the duo got into an argument over who is the real boyfriend of a fellow female student.
The decedent, who was designated as a Biochemistry student, was set to graduate on Friday, December 9, 2022 before he met his untimely death.
“On the fateful date, there was a heated argument between the two friends over who is the real boyfriend of a female student as the two of them are laying claim to her. Late Usman then said that he has left the girl for him (Kamal) who warned that he should not be seen around the girl again or he will blame himself for whatever happens to him. We then told Usman to leave the area to avoid any problems. Usman then went back to the room to take his belongings, as he was about to go out, we were all standing when Kamal came after him running, we didn’t know that he was holding a knife in his hand, he just rushed and stabbed him on the side three times. We subsequently rushed him to the hospital even where he was confirmed dead. Kamal was bragging that his father is a Police Sargent and nothing will happen to him. We know him to be a drug addict. In fact, he was drinking the previous night before the incident.” Eyewitness gave an account of the whole incident.
