But when his colleagues Saminu Lewi and Augustine Emmanuel Shara came to rescue the victim Francis, they were both injured by Dr James Korinjo with the same knife and scissors before they were rushed into the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (Umth) for treatment the following day.
Count one of the charges against the doctor read: “That Dr James Korinjo on or about 17th day of March at about 2315 hours at Damboa LGA of Borno State committed an illegal act to wit: intimidate one Dr Francis Akume in that you placed a video call and instructed him to act accordingly or he will be killed and you thereby committed an offence punishable under sec 223(1)of the penal code of Borno State, 2023. “
