Spokesperson, Bauchi State Police Command, Ahmed Wakil, confirmed the tragic incident in a statement.

According to him, “On the early morning of Friday, May 2, 2025, at about 0403 hours, the police command received a distress call from a Good Samaritan concerning an incident involving an attack by a group of youths at Fadaman Mada, located behind the government Girls’ Secondary School in Bauchi.

“In response, a dedicated team of officers was dispatched to the scene. They found Mr Isa Muhammad Wabi, a 66-year-old former Chairman of Jama’are LGA, in critical condition due to injuries sustained in the attack.

“He was promptly evacuated to the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, Bauchi for urgent medical attention.

“The investigation suggests that Ahmad Abdulkadir, also known as Abba, and Faruk Malami, referred to as Ajebo, had entered the home around 0300 hours and subsequently conspired to assault Mr Wabi.

“He sustained multiple stab wounds to the neck. He was also taken to the hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.”
