The incident occurred on June 20, 2025. According to eyewitnesses, the altercation began when Goni confronted another villager, identified as Haruna Mai Pampy, accusing him of stealing grass intended for animal feed.
The confrontation escalated into violence, during which Haruna allegedly stabbed Goni multiple times in the stomach, chest, and back with a knife.
Goni was rushed to the Specialist Hospital in Geidam but was pronounced dead by a medical doctor.
