The suspected sect members trailed Benjamin Francis few minutes from his duty station at Government Secondary School in the densely populated Rigasa area in kaduna city.
According to his friend Joseph Kuyedah Alhassan, who posted the photo of his mangled carcass on Facebook, Francis was gunned down and people he referred to as "Muslims" came and butchered him with knives in broad day light. The school principal was also injured as he attempted intervening to secure Francis life.
“They just killed him and did not take anything from him, and so it is clear they are not armed robbers. He had a wife and two children, in fact the newest baby is just a month old”, he stated upon further question on his Facebook page.
