A polytechnic lecturer, Yohanna Mbudai Bzegu, has been shot dead in Adamawa State, SaharaReporters has learnt.
Bzegu, a lecturer with the department of Mechanical Engineering of Adamawa State Polytechnic Yola, was shot dead in the early hours of Thursday at his Bajabure residence, behind Anglican Junior Seminary, a satellite town on the outskirts of Yola, the state capital.
The assailants reportedly broke into his house and fired multiple shots into his chest and watched him breathe his last, while his wife looked haplessly.
A source close to the family, who does not want to be mentioned, told SaharaReporters that "They came around 3:00am today. It was their fourth or fifth attempt and we don't know why they murdered him.
"They first fired shots through the window; later they broke the door and shot him several times in the chest until they confirmed he was dead", he said.
While confirming the incident, the spokesperson for the police in the state, SP Suleiman Nguroje, said, "The Commissioner of Police, Sikiru Akande, visited the crime scene earlier today and directed that immediate investigation be conducted with a view to apprehending the perpetrators of the crime.”
Gunmen’s killings are increasing in the state and causing sleepless nights to many residents.
Only last week, SaharaReporters reported that gunmen shot a pastor, gunned down his two sons and kidnapped his 13-year-old daughter in Adamawa State.
