There clearly was pandemonium last Thursday at Utako District of the FCT when a 27-year old man, Alhassan Musa, an indigene of Utako Village was gruesomely murdered by four teenage boys locally at about 7pm.  It had been gathered that the boys were in the habit of going to the school across the street to ra-pe young girls. So, once the report stumbled on the elders, the boys were called to the chief's palace and they were punished and the exact same boy who stabbed the victim came back again to the palace and told the elders that they have to also call the girls in the school and warn them or if not they'll not stop ra-ping them. The victim had tried to caution them that they'd no right to come to the city area and talk with the elders such disrespectful manner and that was when they told him he should watch his back and he could be dealt with.

The elder brother of the deceased, Usman Musa, who witnessed the incident, said trouble started when he left his room with his younger brother, the deceased, to take air outside. He said four teenage boys who may have laid ambush on the late Alhassan pounced on him immediately he came out of the house, beating and hitting him on the head with heavy weapons. He tried to stop them but they attacked him with a dagger. He then called the attention of the neighbours but the boys ran away before they could apprehend them.

When Usman finally went to attend to his brother, it was already too late as they had already stabbed him and people who saw him being stabbed rushed him to the hospital. He however caught one of the boys who they took to the police station and he is still in police custody.

The indigenes, who were unable to sleep throughout the night as a result of the incident, took to the streets to protest over the gruesome murder of the young man, demanding for justice. Many described the deceased as a promising young man with bright prospects.

Addressing the protesters, the divisional police officer of the Utako Police Station, CSP Usman Umar, who escorted the protesters from the police station back to the village, appealed to the indigenes not to take laws into their hands, saying with the arrested teenager in their custody, the police would do everything possible to apprehend the others who are still at large.
