Phone snatchers stab son of ex-NTA DG to death a week after receiving employment letter

Aminu Mohammed Ibrahim, son of former Director General of the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA), Alhaji Mohammed Ibrahim, has been stabbed to death in Kaduna by suspected phone thieves. 

The incident happened on Wednesday, October 28, around Kawo in Kaduna North Local Government Area of the state.

It was gathered that the 38-year-old Aminu was flagging down a commercial vehicle when hoodlums lurking around the area stabbed him and made away with his phone.

His elder brother, Kamal Ibrahim, who confirmed the incident on Thursday, October 29, said Aminu was recently employed by Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO)

Aminu received his appointment letter on October 20 and had travelled to Kano for his documentation. He returned to Kaduna on Wedneday night and was trying to get a vehicle home when the hoodlums stabbed him and fled with his phone.

“He arrived sometime between 8:30 and 9:00pm and while trying to get a taxi, hoodlums stabbed him on the chest, near his heart and made away with his phone. He was taken to hospital and he gave the hospital staff our father’s number and mine to call and inform us but he died while they were treating him,” said Kamal.
