Viashima who sustained several injuries sustained is now receiving treatment at the Federal Medical Center Jalingo,

Narrating his ordeal, Viashima said the attackers must have trailed him from where he went to get air time for his night calls. He said the four men appeared in a Yellow tricycle while he was about entering into his house which is opposite FGGC road in Jalingo.

The companion of Sylvanus, a young lady who craved anonymity said the four men came behind and bounced directly on the The Sun reporter while they were about turning to their house.

She said the attackers came out straight on the reporter with knives and fled the scene after stabbing him.

“They came out straight on him with knives, after attacking him, they zoomed off with their Try-cycle, they did not take any of his belongings, I think they were trailing us since where we went to buy air time.

As at the time of writing the report, the Police Public Relation Officer, Taraba state command Mr. David Mishar did not respond to several calls made to his phones for comment.
