Reports received indicate that a level 300 Degree nursing student at Tamale UDS, Ibrahim Mohammed Sadat, has fatally been beaten by an unknown mob.
The incident occurred at his hostel on the campus of Tamale UDS on the midnight of Friday, February 2, 2024.
Hajia Zulfawu Tuntundani, a family member of the deceased, recounted the incident to Spear FM, revealing that during the assault, Sadat called his mother at around 2 am, saying, “Mum, I am being beaten to death by my colleagues” before abruptly hanging up.
Despite attempts by Sadat’s mother to call him back, there was no response.
She also tried informing other family members about the distressing call.
According to Hajia Zulfawu, the family learned on Saturday morning that Sadat had been beaten to death by an unidentified mob.
The grieving family member added that an eyewitness who tried to intervene during the assault was overpowered by the mob, and fearing for his life, he refrained from providing details about the incident.
The matter has been reported to the Tamale Regional Police Command, but CID Sallah explained that due to the weekend, they couldn’t gather concrete information about the perpetrators. CID Sallah suggested contacting the Northern Regional Police PRO for further details.
Hajia Zulfawu conveyed that a 38-year-old man’s body is presently at the morgue at Tamale Teaching Hospital, awaiting investigations.
The motive behind the assault remains unknown at this time.
