UNIMAID lecturer stabbed to death in office
A lecturer at the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) has been
murdered in his office.
The lecturer has been identified as Kamar Abdulkadir, a PhD
holder at UNIMAID’s Department of Physical Health Education.
Abdulkadir was found dead in the pool of his blood on Sunday
with several injuries inflicted on his body by his killers.
Sources who spoke to TheCable said the lecturer’s bodily
injuries indicated he was attacked with a knife and hammer.
The killers, one source added, also carted away the
lecturer’s vehicle and other valuables.
“His hands were peeled off when he tried to stop the
attackers from stabbing him. They also used a hammer to smash his head and his
spinal cord, killing him instantly,” the source said.
The UNIMAID case comes as the latest in a series of violent
crimes that have hit campuses and academics.
In October 2023, Funmilola Adefolalu, a female lecturer at
the Federal University of Technology (FUT) Minna was found dead.
The lecturer was found lying in a pool of blood at her
residence in the Gbaiko area of Minna.
The police, at the time, said two knives with blood stains
suspected to have been used to stab her were found at the scene.
In March 2024, a 400-level student of the Abia State
University (ABSU) was killed in a clash between rival cult groups.
