In Joseph’s words: “I was watching the inauguration with some colleagues when the thugs who had the inscription ‘Ta’Al Boys’ on their T-shirts demanded that I follow them.

“I asked why they wanted me to follow them but they gave no answer. Rather, they pounced on me and dragging me at the same time. I only woke up in the hospital after.”

He was rescued by security operatives and rushed to the Dalhatu Specialist Hospital, Lafia for medical treatment.
