At the Government Model School in Jalingo, the capital of Taraba state, a secondary school teacher was fatally stabbed by a former student who is currently at large.
Following an earlier dispute with the student, the instructor was attacked while riding a tricycle, according to SP. Abdullahi Usman, the Police Public Relations Officer, who verified the event on Thursday.
“A former student planned to stab his teacher, who was inside Keke NAPEP,” Usman stated.
They got into a fight with the teacher, and during the fight, they stabbed the teacher. He was pronounced dead as they were transporting him to the hospital.
In a statement made public by his Special Advisor on Media and Digital Communication, Mr. Emmanuel Bello, Governor Agbu Kefas expressed condolences for the teacher’s untimely passing and issued an order prohibiting the use of assault weapons in Jalingo and its surrounding areas, including knives, machetes, and daggers.
This is happening even as the governor launched a probe into the event and increased security monitoring to stop such assaults in the future.
