A senior officer identified as Lieutenant Commodore M Buba has been stabbed to death in Kaduna.

The attack occurred after the hoodlum attempted to rob the senior officer of his mobile phone and other valuables at the Kawo bridge.

According to eyewitnesses, the senior officer who was on course at the Armed Forces and Command Staff College (AFCSC), Jaji had a flat tire while on his way returning to Jaji.

“He alighted from his car trying to change the flat tyre, when the unknown assailant suddenly appeared and demanded him to handover his GSM phone. The senior officer refused questioning the rationale when the assailant suddenly stabbed him on the chest with a local knife.”


Suleiman Dahiru, a local vigilante, who witnessed the altercation attempted to help the senior officer but was also stabbed on the hand by the assailant too.

Our correspondent gathered that the assailant was subsequently overpowered and mobbed by nearby people who also killed him on the spot.

A senior military officer who did not want to he mentioned said, “The wounded senior officer was initially rushed to Manaal Hospital but was confirmed dead on arrival.

“The corpse of the deceased was subsequently evacuated to 44 Nigerian Army Referee Hospital, Kaduna mortuary for further action.

“Troops in plain clothes, police and other civil security agencies have been mobilised and tasked on covert operations to identify and clear all miscreants loitering around bus stops and other black spots in Kaduna Metropolis.”

When ed, the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan confirmed the incident and described it as ‘unfortunate’.

He, however, assured that the police were doing everything possible to secure the area and the state at large.

Nigeria and insecurity
Innocent people are dying
Rip officer

The hunter has become the bush meat

“He alighted from his car trying to change the flat tyre, when the unknown assailant suddenly appeared and demanded him to handover his GSM phone. The senior officer refused questioning the rationale when the assailant suddenly stabbed him on the chest with a local knife.”

Even an iPhone 16 Pro Max is not worth risking one's life for.

This usually happens after the fact.
So someone would just come to you abd demand you handover your phone and you would just hand it over,without him pointing a gun at you?
Even with gun pointed,a military officer of that rank can and should believe he can overpower any assailant.
So let's not start acting righteous or holy here like the man acted f oolishly.
Lots of men would have acted same way he did,even when it's a knife and it's just one person trying to dispose you of a valuable possession.

My brother, I'm neither acting Righteous nor saying you should surrender your phone at the slightest confrontation.

By my comment, when faced with such armed confrontation, you need to assess if there is any risk or threat to your life, &if there is any, just surrender your phone. This is in line with what Security Experts advise & it has saved a lot of lives (including mine).
Unlike your life, material things can be replaced, oftentimes easily.
So let's be guided.

My Heartfelt condolence goes to the family of the deceased officer

It's furtile arguing with miscreants when you are not armed....most times they are high on something cheap and are willing to do anything to get their next high

Phone can easily be replaced but a live cannot

I have always maintained that those northern criminal miscreants are the most dangerous of the lot. Best NEVER to encounter them. They kill without batting an eyelid especially because they are ALWAYS high on hard drugs. I'm speaking from a bitter experience by the way.

Rest in peace the gallant soldier

Why's he not walking with a pistol? May his soul RIP

Just Like That, Only If He Had Known,He Should Have Handed The Phone Over, How Much is Phone Compare to His Life? How Can a Military Personnel Not Even Have a Jack Knife in his Car. Error

What of the r!tualists in the south. Papa, Mama, children are all into R!tualism for survival.

In the north, u aren’t afraid of being kidnapped and ur skull mined or used for r!tuals.

In the south, when you are kidnapped, you most likely will be used for R!tual. No denying the fact that living in the south is hell worse than living in the north.

Never argue for a phone

Subhanallah!

May his soul rest in peace

And nothing happened?

How? Do you even read at all?
Did you see the part they said the Assailant was killed by the people around?

That Kawo bridge is notorious for phone snatching, mugging and other nefarious activities by hausa area boys. I hope this incident will spur the government and security agencies to dislodge those criminal elements from that bridge.

Oh

Na dem way.

Always ready to draw blood

Condolence to the family.
May his soul rest in peace

But that rank is questionable!

With the rate of insecurity in the country now,how would a senior officer move about without a gun.

These hoodlums are under the influences of drugs

The country is not safe right now

No be every military dey carry pistol,,esp when u are not a very senior officer with good appointment...More over,,na student him be for jaji on one year mandatory course..

Kawo flyover in Kaduna,had a bad experience there,Aboki nearly run me street,RIP officer

Na so dem rush me for Zaria back then… Omo see temple run… omo I run like mad dog… then chase me like mad.. nothing criminals hate more than outsmarting them.. I just saw a loophole and I swear I took it… I ran and ran until I reached a crowded junction that’s when they all disembarked… if you see the way my heart was pumping you’ll be worried, my heart was pumping 10 times per second, I went back home to my gf and explained everything to her and she was just sitting casually smiling as I spoke… everyone loves to hear hero stories just like you reading this now but reverse will be the case if I was stabbed to death by this miscreants… funny thing is you don’t need to struggle your valuables with them before dem dagger you… you just need to be in a position where you’re vulnerable.. most criminals will stab you in a vulnerable position just for the rush/feels… my own situation was even worse cos if they caught up with me they would’ve daggered me to my demise just for putting them on temple run… anyways after telling my gf the incident she showed me love and joy that night. Learn how to run from ugly situations guys… robbers, women, etc

The stupid country called nigerian happened to him, we should pray dat nigerian should not happen to us. Useless country

its lieutenant commander,,not commodore..its major equivalent in the army

Na fear fear dey point strong man grave

No personal item, not even a phone, is worth risking your life over. It's tragic that this officer lost his life, and it serves as a reminder that trying to reason or resist in a moment of danger particularly when unarmed can escalate things fatally.
