Mob kills undergraduate in Kebbi

The Kebbi State University, Aliero, has been closed down indefinitely following the murder of a 400-level biochemistry student, Shamsudeen Sale, by a mob.

The spokesman of the university, Hussaini Adamu Zuru, who disclosed this to Daily Trust on phone on Sunday, said the murder angered the students of the institution who went on rampage, blocking the highway leading into Sokoto State.

According to him, the student was murdered by the residents of Aliero Town as trouble began when he bought a cell phone but the dealer said he did not get credit alert even after he said he had transferred the money for the phone into the dealer’s account.

He further said in the process of sorting out the matter, the people around started calling him a thief, a development which he said triggered the mob action on Sale, thereby leading to his death. When contacted, the spokesman of police in the state, DSP Nafiu Abubakar, confirmed the incident.
