The Adamawa State Police Command has arrested a 28-year-old man, Ibrahim Augustine, for allegedly stabbing his 21-year-old friend, Haggai Markus, to death following a disagreement over roasted meat in Mubi North Local Government Area.

The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday.

According to the statement, Augustine allegedly picked up a knife during the disagreement and stabbed Markus in the chest.

The victim’s father, Markus Gabo, reportedly alerted the police at about 8:45pm, prompting operatives attached to the Mubi North Division to visit the scene.

On arrival, the officers found Markus lying lifeless in a pool of blood. A sharp knife suspected to have been used in the attack was subsequently recovered.

The victim was evacuated to the Federal Medical Centre, Mubi, where a doctor confirmed him dead.
