Less than a week after hoodlums murdered a 58 year old woman in ‘Jeka da fari’ area of Gombe State capital by stabbing her on the neck, a female student of the College of Education (COE) Billiri, in Billiri local government area of the state was killed by another hoodlums in the early hours of Monday.
LEADERSHIP reports that this was the third time in three months that thugs slayed innocent citizens in the state as the first reported incident was the murder of a popular islamic preacher in the state Sheikh Albani Kuri.
The second was last Friday at Jeka da Fari in the state capital when suspected thugs killed a woman and carted away her phone and the latest one was the female student in Billiri.
The police have however arrested the suspected killers of the 58-year-old woman even as those of the islamic cleric are yet to be fished out.
The murdered student was identified as Yosi Yusuf and was an NCE 2 student according to our sources.
Some alleged that the female student was raped by the miscreants before they subsequently murdered her.
But in an interview, a neighbour of the deceased who lives in the same house with her which is off campus, one Mustapha Mohammed, revealed that the incident occurred at about 3:50AM.
He said they heard her screaming, came out to see what was happening and beheld her moaning in pain and bleeding seriously on the ground while the perpetrators of the cruel act fled.
