Yet to be identified students of Kogi State
Polytechnic, Lokoja, on Thursday night, stabbed a
senior lecturer of the school, Mr. Anthony
Abimaje, to death during a riot that broke out
on campus.
An eye witness said the lecturer, who was on his
way to pick his wife and daughter who sells
provision at the school centre, came to the scene
of the riot when he was stabbed in the stomach
by the students.
Investigation revealed that Amebija was a stric
lecturer who was fond of refusing bribe to award
marks to students which apparently put him in
the ‘black book’ of the warring students.
”On sighting him, the students forgot their quarrel,
stopped his car, dragged him out, turned the fight
on him and stabbed him repeatedly in the
stomach and left him bleeding on the ground”, the
eye witness said.
Amebija, who taught research methodology and
entrepreneurship before his death, was rushed to
the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
