Borno State Police Command said that eight suspects have been arrested over the killing of Kamar Abdulkadir, a lecturer in the Department of Physical Health Education, University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID).
Abdulkadir was found dead on Monday in his office on campus with injuries on his body.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Nahun Daso, told newsmen that the attackers also carted away the lecturer’s vehicle, phone and laptop.
“We reviewed the CCTV camera and saw them going out of the university with the deceased’s vehicle. However, the quality of the video was very poor so we could not see the number of people that were inside the car,” he said.
