Hassan Abdullahi, a vigilante who was injured during a violent confrontation with hoodlums in Soje area of Minna, Niger State, has succumbed to his injuries.
Daily Trust reported that two people, including a vigilante member, were injured during a clash between residents of Soje while raiding a spot suspected to be of criminals and drug peddlers.
Abdullahi’s colleagues, who preferred anonymity, said the deceased died at the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital in the early hours of Sunday where he was referred to from Minna General Hospital on Friday.
The Chairman, Chanchaga LGA, Aminu Ladan, also confirmed the incident on his Facebook account on Sunday.
He said “I’m deeply saddened to share that the vigilante member we visited a few days ago, who was brutally attacked by some miscreants, passed away early this morning at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital. May Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant him eternal peace.”
Ladan warned that the government would go after the hoodlums that are fond of breaching the peace in Minna, the state capital, if they fail to stop criminality.
