Yet to be identified students of Kogi
State Polytechnic, Lokoja, penultimate Thursday night, stabbed a senior lecturer of the
school, Mr. Anthony Abimaje, to death during a riot that broke out on campus.
An eye witness said the lecturer, who
was on his way to pick his wife and daughter who sells provision at the school
centre, came to the scene of the riot when he was stabbed in the stomach by the
students.
Investigation revealed that Amebija was
a strict lecturer who was fond of refusing bribe to award marks to students
which apparently put him in the 'black book' of the warring students.
“On sighting him, the students forgot
their quarrel, stopped his car, dragged him out, turned the fight on him and
stabbed him repeatedly in the stomach and left him bleeding on the ground”, the
eye witness said.
Amebija, who taught research methodology
and entrepreneurship before his death, was rushed to the hospital where he was
pronounced dead.
