Police in Jigawa on Friday, April 14, recovered the corpse of a 16-year-old “Almajiri” in the Kiyawa Local Government Area of the state with one of the deceased’s eyes gorged by the assailants.

A statement released by the command’s spokesperson DSP Lawan Shiisu, says the Islamic knowledge teacher of the deceased, Malam Muhammad Mustafa, reported the matter to the police.
