Your sun set too soon – 'Girlfriend' mourns ATBU final year student stabbed to death by robbers while trying to retrieve her stolen handbag

The girlfriend of the 500-level student of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU), Agbaidu Joseph, who was killed by suspected robbers, has mourned him.

Recall that the Bauchi State Police Command disclosed that the final year student was stabbed while trying to retrieve his girlfriend, Philomina Ahobee’s handbag from the assailants. 

LIB reported that the final-year Geology student died in the hospital after he was attacked by assailants on Saturday, December 2, 2023, in the Yelwa area of the Bauchi metropolis. 

The victim was rushed to Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH) Bauchi for medical treatment where he was confirmed dead by a doctor on duty.

The incident sparked a protest among students of the institution who came out in their numbers at the Yelwa campus to express their anger at the inadequate security in the area. 

Philomina, in a Facebook post, disclosed that she was injured during the attack.  

“May the Lord be with you. I know you are safe in the arms of Jesus now. Haba Agabaidu Joseph your sun set too soon. I still can’t believe but its because we were together when it’s happened and me got injured, Someone special will never be forgotten. Death the last sleep? till we meet to depart no more. I pray your spirit find rest with God Almighty,” she wrote.
