Tragedy struck on Wednesday at the Olabisi
Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun, when
unknown assailants killed a lecturer, just as ASUU
called off its five-month old strike.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the victim,
Dr Segun Onabanjo, was a senior lecturer at the
Department of Sociology.
According to eyewitnesses, the assailants broke into
his residence in Odomolasa area of Ilese-Ijebu at
about 1a.m. on Wednesday, shot the lecturer and
carted away some personal and household items.
NAN learnt that the corpse has since been deposited
in an undisclosed mortuary.
When contacted on telephone, the Police Public
Relations Officer of Ogun Police Command, DSP
Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed the killing of the lecturer.
Adejobi said the command was on the trail of the
killers who escaped through a nearby bush.
“We are already working on some leads; the police
engaged the criminals when they arrived at the
scene and some were believed to have sustained
injuries in the duel.
“We combed the area and found some blood stains
which we hope will help in this case,” he said.
“The police command is seriously investigating this
case and the suspects will be brought to justice.’’
Adejobi called on medical doctors in the state to alert
the command in case they noticed anyone with
gunshot wounds in their hospitals.
Meanwhile, lecturers have resumed work at the
university in compliance with the directive of the
national secretariat of Academic Staff Union of
Universities.
Students’ turn-out was still low as some were seen
returning to the campus as at the time of filling this
