Police in Jigawa State have arrested a 29-year-old barber accused of fatally stabbing a man during an argument in Dutse. Reports say the alleged attack involved a knife and targeted the victim’s neck, after the two men disagreed.
Multiple outlets describe the incident as taking place in or around Dutse and say the dispute escalated into violence. Vanguard reports the suspect was reportedly working as a barber at a hotel in Dutse, while The Punch and Daily Post Nigeria focus on the arrest and police allegations. Daily Post Nigeria also identifies the suspect as Emmanuel Olatonok and the victim as Ibrahim Shago, adding more detail about the circumstances and locations mentioned in police statements.
Across the coverage, the core points are consistent: an argument preceded the stabbing, a barber is accused, and police have taken the suspect into custody. Differences are mainly in the amount of background and naming details provided.
