Darboe said to have fought off the man, who was also attempting to strangle him, but sustained a number of injuries for which he later received treatment at Fajikunda Health Centre. The Point understands that no attempt was made to rob Darboe at any stage during the attack.
A clearly shaken Darboe has told The Point that he has no suspects in the case but has been told by people living in his compound that on three separate occasions recently people have called to his abode looking for him and refused to identify themselves. The matter has been reported to the police who are carrying out their investigations.
