Gunmen on Sunday shot dead a Nigerian lecturer , Malam Murtala Mohammed, of the Mass Communication Department of the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) at his residence in Maiduguri.<\/p>\n
Witnesses said Mohammed was shot at his 202 Housing Estate, opposite the university campus.<\/p>\n
“He was shot at close range by a group of teenagers shortly after observing the Zuhr Prayers in front of his house,.’\u2019 the witness said.<\/p>\n
Also speaking, Malam Yusuf Ibrahim, a neighbour of the deceased, said the victim appeared to have been trailed by his killers from the university campus before coming to his house.<\/p>\n
“Apparantly the killers must have trailed him from the university campus where he had gone to perform some official assignment in the morning,” he said.<\/p>\n
Ibrahim also said the killers fled immediately after shooting the deceased severally at close range.<\/p>\n
Also confirming the incident, Malam Ahmed Mohammed the UNIMAID Chief Information Officer, said he heard about the sad event in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

“I learnt that his remains were taken to the University Teaching Hospital (UMTH) mortuary by a team of operatives of the Joint Task Force (JTF) who were alerted by neighbours after the event,” Mohammed said. ——————————————————————————————————————————————- Source: PM News<\/p>\n DisNaija.Com<\/b> publishes regular posts on Nigeria News,<\/a> Nigerian Newspapers,<\/a> Online Nigeria Gist.<\/a><\/p>\n Follow us on Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n
