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.
