The police command in Kaduna on Monday confirmed the alleged killing of a Nigerian Navy officer, Lt Cdr M. Buba, by a hoodlum on Sunday at about 4:50 a.m.
The command’s spokesperson, Mansir Hassan, confirmed the incident in Kaduna.
Mr Hassan said Mr Buba was attacked and robbed near Kawo the flyover.
He said the yet-to-be-identified miscreant had attacked the naval officer with a knife and robbed him of his mobile phones.
According to him, the suspect was attempting to escape when an angry mob overpowered and beat him to death.
Mr Hassan said the late naval officer suffered stab wounds and was rushed to Manaal Hospital, where he was declared dead by a medical doctor.
He also disclosed that a resident, Suleiman Dahiru, who attempted to help the late naval officer, was also stabbed.
Mr Hassan said, “The body of the late Buba has been deposited at the 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital mortuary.
“The deceased was in his black Toyota vehicle with registration number APP-745HT when the incident happened.“
