The Borno State Police Command said it has arrested eight suspects linked to the murder of a lecturer from the Department of Physical Health Education at the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID).
Spokesman of the command, ASP Daso Kenneth, told Daily Trust that the suspects were arrested following a report filed by the Chief Security Officer of the university.“He reported to police station around 6:30 am that a body was found in the office, and identified as Dr. Abdulkadir Kamal.
“Our men swung into action immediately, cordoned off the scene of the crime, and evacuated the body to hospital for autopsy. “Although we arrested eight suspects who are in our custody, investigations are ongoing to unravel those behind the act,” Kenneth said.
He called on the people within and outside the university community to remain calm as police would do everything possible to fish out the culprits.
