Tuesday's intriguing people
Joseph Igbineweka
The student body president of California State University, Chico, is recovering from stab wounds suffered in what police believe was a hate crime, officials said.
Igbineweka, who was born in Nigeria, was stabbed early Sunday while walking near the college in a neighborhood where most residents are students, Chico police Sgt. Rob Merrifield said.
Igbineweka passed two men who began to make racial slurs, Merrifield said. He ignored them and eventually turned around when one of the men struck him, Merrifield said. He fought back, but the man pulled a pocketknife and stabbed him at least four times, in the neck, chest, stomach and arm, according to Merrifield.
Igbineweka was in stable condition, said Joe Wills, spokesman for the university, which is commonly known as Chico State.
"While violent crimes happen in this and other communities, this is very disturbing," Wills said. "Lots of people know Joe."
The student body president is a public figure in Chico, a university town of about 100,000 people, he said. Igbineweka "is very well known in the local community," Wills said. "This is a hate crime and a very big deal."
