Some assailants who have not yet been identified allegedly attacked a student at the Nigerian Law School, Yola Campus, Adamawa State, identified only as Bolu.

The victim was reportedly beaten around 1am on Saturday.

PUNCH Metro figured out the incident happened near their on-campus hostel.

A source said Bolu was seriously injured in the attack.

He said: "School authorities have not yet commented on this. He was initially unconscious but has now woken up. No one knows what caused the attack because "he was the only one in that area when it happened. They attacked him and tried to drag him away. They slashed both his ankles with machetes so he couldn't move, then his head . Someone saw them trying to drag him away and lit his torch. They abandoned him and ran away."

A source from the school health center also confirmed the incident.

He said, "The incident took place, but no one can say what or why it happened because he was just found on campus premises. Immediately, he was taken to the Modibbo Adama University Hospital Center.”

He said Bolu was unconscious after the attack but was taken to hospital, adding that he had lost his memory.

The Dean, Student Affairs, Nigerian Law School, Yola, Bala Bello, said he was unable to give details of the attack.

He said, "Please, I'm not allowed to talk about any subject regarding a law school student. You can direct your inquiries to our headquarters in Abuja. »

Adamawa State Police Public Relations Officer DSP Suleiman Yahaya said he was unaware of the incident.

He said, "I haven't been informed about this. Let me know and I'll get back to you."

Yahaya had not done so at the time of filing this report.
