The man
was slapped into deep unconsciousness at the Temple Clinic Junction Asaba.
Eye
witness account said that Bukar pounced on the driver who was seen visibly
happy and spreading the rumour at a newspaper stand, popularly known as “free
readers association” after he had read from a blog that Buhari is dead.
He was
reported to have said:
“The body of the President should be thrown
into River-Niger for fish and other wild animals to do justice on him. He is
very wicked.”
At this
statement, Bukar who also was part of the free readers’ association got annoyed
and gave him a dirty slap that sent him to pulp. The driver was rushed to a
nearby private hospital where he was being revived.
However,
the account said that the relatives of the taxi driver were then called. When
they came, they wanted to fight the Kano man, a situation that might have
resulted to bloodshed but for the timely intervention of the police.
Vanguard
reports that the spokesman of Delta state police command Andrew Aniamaka
confirmed that the victim is receiving treatment adding that the alleged
attacker had been arrested and detained for interrogation.
