A journalist was attacked by hoodlums in Jalingo, Taraba State.
Mohammed Usamat Suleman was in a commercial tricycle on his way home around 8pm on Wednesday, March 8, when the hoodlums attacked him.
The Shimo FM staff is receiving treatment in the emergency ward of the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Jalingo.
He said the hoodlums, who brandished weapons like guns and cutlasses, demanded he produced a particular midget.
“On discovering that I am not in possession of the midget, they beat me to a stupor and pushed me out of the moving tricycle thinking I was dead,” he said.
Suleman said he could not fathom why he was targeted by hoodlums
“What surprised me most is their failure to take away my handset because all they kept demanding was a particular midget but thank God I was not carrying any midget as at the time I was attacked,” he added.
