Then his accomplice whose identity is not yet known, screamed: “Stop mentioning his name if you don’t want to die.”
Sadiq Abubakari Gariba managed to stand up to the two attackers and dragged them out of the studio before the altercation escalated outside amid threats before he eventually returned to the studio.
As to what fueled the attack, the radio presenter told Joy News: “Before I started the show I played a tape in which he mentioned me on a sister station. So I said, ‘No, this guy is not worth commenting on. I will not comment on him because he does not seem to be credible, and I do not want to discuss such people on my show.”
Meanwhile, the victim is reported as saying that he has lodged a formal complaint with the police over the incident.
