Lecturer Killed At Olabisi Onabanjo University

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 report.
