The right eye of a 12-year-old almajiri, Najib Hussaini, has been plucked out by suspected ritualists at Kafin Madaki in Ganjuwa LGA of Bauchi State.

Spokesman of the police in the state, SP Ahmed Wakil, who disclosed the incident to newsmen yesterday, said, “Najib Hussaini, an indigene of Kano State, who is attending Quranic education in Kafin-Madaki was barely a year in the state when the incident occurred on 9th of December, 2022, at about 0200hours at Unguwar Yamma, not far from the Tsangaya school.”

Wakil said that preliminary investigation revealed that two people who came on a motorcycle lured the victim to a house to assist them to call a lady.

He explained that, “They took the victim on their bike straight to an isolated area near Hanyar Gonar Wakili of the same village where they stopped the motorcycle near a bushy area and forcefully plucked out the right eye of the victim and abandoned him in his pool of blood.”
