They then requested for his ATM card, which he was reluctant to let up, that was when he refused to obey any more of their commands. He was beaten up and then stabbed with a knife by the robbers three times. Twice to his arm and once to the forearm.
He had to then pick himself up from the ground and run towards the campus gate while bleeding profusely from the deep cuts. When he reached the campus gate, he reported what had happened to the security men on duty and the security responded by taking him to the Medical centre while some men went in search of the robbers but to no avail.
Medical center, using their ambulance services transferred him to Parklane teaching hospital at around 9:30pm and that was where the SUG Director of Welfare took over from the Medical centre. At the moment he has returned back to his lodge and is quite on bed rest. Everything looks fine and he would have a swift recovery.
