Bauchi: Man Stabs Friend To Death For Refusing To Buy Him Beer

The Bauchi State Police Command has arrested a 29-year old man for allegedly stabbing a 30-year-old man to death for refusing to buy him beer.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the command, Ahmed Walil revealed that the incident occurred on November 17, 2022 at a beer parlour at Bagel Village of Dass LGA in Bauchi State.

According to the police, Ajasco had visited a beer parlor at Bagel village of Dass LGA where he met the now deceased Abdulrazak Ibrahim and others drinking beer.

The PPRO said, “He (the suspect) asked  Abdulrazak (deceased) to buy him a beer to drink. In response, the deceased refused to do so.

“The deceased’s friend heard screaming from his friend from afar. On reaching the scene, he met his friend lying in a pool of his blood while the suspect was standing near the victim holding a sharp animal horn in his hand.
