A trader identified as Mohammed Hamman Adama, has been applauded for his courage after he fought off two dreaded “Shila” boys who tried to break into his provision shop in Sangere Bode, Yola South Local Government Area of Adamawa state.
It was learnt that the suspects, Umar Sa’ad, 18 and Mohammed Idris, 20, armed with cutlasses, hammer, cutting pliers and sticks, stormed the provision shop around 2:00am.
Upon their arrival at the shop, the boys began breaking the door to facilitate their access to the shop.
The owner of the shop Mohammed whose residence is closeby heard a strange sound and came out with a cutlass.
Upon spotting the shop owner, one of the suspects fled leaving behind the other who picked his cutlass and attacked Mohammed.
The shop owner managed to inflict deep wounds on the left hand of the hoodlum almost chopping it off before the suspect attacked him with cutlass rendering him unconscious and bleeding.
The injured hoodlum fled thinking that the shop owner was dead. However, family members and neighbours who got wind of what was happening, came out, found Mohammed in a pool of blood and rushed him to the hospital.
