Salisu Muhammad, a
football player at Yakasai quarters, Kano municipal local government, has
reportedly stabbed Mujitapha Musa, his coach, to death.
The deceased, who
sustained injury on his chest following the attack, died on his way to Murtala
Muhammad Specialist Hospital in the state.
According to Daily
Trust, the
misunderstanding between the suspect and deceased started about six months ago
when the former committed a blunder that led to the loss of a football game
which the latter considered as a “must win” for their team.
“When I made that
blunder, he abused me and abused my parents which made me angry and I threw his
jersey and left the field. Ever since then I joined his opponents and opposed
them whenever they are having match,” said the suspect in a statement issued to
the police.
“Last Saturday, they had
a match and as usual, I went to oppose their team. He threatened that he will
beat me up whenever he caught me. I saw him when people were returning from
viewing centre where they watched Elclassico (Madrid vs Barcelona match).’’
Muhammad added that Musa
“suddenly slapped him when they met and began to manhandle him which led him to
bring out the knife and stabbed him on the chest.”
In a statement, Haruna
Abdullahi, the police spokesman, said the suspect was arrested and the knife
with which he stabbed the victim was recovered from him.
