Relatives of a 56-year-old man in Bauchi State whose eyes were plucked by suspected ritualists in Bonjiji village have appealed to the inspector general of police to fish out the people who carried out the dastardly act.
The victim, Malam Umar Bojinji, who is currently receiving treatment at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Teaching Hospital, Bauchi fell into the hands of the evil men who removed his eyes and teeth.
Bojinji was attacked at Bojinji village in a bush where he was cutting woods in Bauchi Local Government Area near Inkil, a suburb of the state capital.
The victim’s younger brother, Yakubu Abdullahi, lamented the insecurity in the area, saying it was a source of concern to them and called on the authorities to do something about it.
He said some strangers came to greet his brother who had two wives and 13 children while he was cutting woods and waited for him; adding that while he was being assisted to lift the woods on his head, the strangers started to hit him with a cutlass and thereafter tied him down.
He therefore called on the relevant authorities to come to their aid and provide succour for the people of the area.
He said if the appropriate security agencies did not taken serious measures the problem would escalate, adding that the people would avenge the act done to one of their kinsmen.
Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Muhammad Barau, who confirmed the incident, said investigation was ongoing on the matter.
