Gunmen have abducted a Professor of Soil Science in Modibbo Adama University of Technology (MAUTECH), Yola, Adamu Zata and killed his brother, Dr Sheda Zata.

The kidnappers killed the professor’s younger brother, a veterinary doctor, possibly in panic, according to a family source, Mr Padio Phin.

He said the twin incidents occurred in the early hours of Monday at the professor’s residence in Girei, near Yola

The source told our correspondent that Dr Sheda, who decided to spend the night with the professor after having come from his rural posting to collect his salary in the state capital, was coming out of his room on hearing the commotion of the gunmen in the house when they shot him.

“You know, these people are on edge when they operate. They shot Dr Sheda when they heard his door open and sighted him come out of his room,” Phin said.

This is the second time in a year that the MAUTECH professor would be kidnapped.

Last October, he was abducted from the same residence and released after his family reportedly paid a ransom of N2 million.

A neighbour said more than 10 armed men broke into the house of the professor around 2:00am and took him, killing his 49-year-old younger brother in the process.

The Adamawa State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Suleiman Nguroje, confirmed the incident.

He said the Commissioner of Police had deployed operatives to apprehend the kidnappers.

Security in Nigeria has really been bad since yesterday.

In my opinion, it is high time the Police thought up better ideas to fight crime in Nigeria. Yes, they are underfunded...but surely they can do something with the funds they have. Drones, human intelligence...etc.

Meanwhile....wonder what the governors of Adamawa past and present are doing with their security votes.

Sad

Nigeria will only get worse if not worst than any crime related country.

I only weep for those of you that believe any administration or any other administration will bring an end to this insurgency not even in 1000 year

Fulani men dhan make kidnapping their cash cow

CHAI ARUEME, NAIJA IS VERY UNSAFE UNDER THIS GENERAL BUHARI

There was a country
Buhari is up for eviction

Really bad

A lot of us have thought of coming back home to contribute our quota to nation-building.
But when you hear stories like this, you shudder.
Some of us have even rejected job offers from Naija because of this nonsense.
Even to come home to do foundation laying for a building project is a problem.

Nigeria has become really scary. This is really sad and unfortunate.

Good God help us in this country

Ok. So who is next

Shitty country..

Until we implement the recommendation of the 2014 national conference report.

Which among other call for the creation of state police scenes like this kidnapping and other forms of insecurity will continue to dot our national landscape.

The northern political leadership that are not showing the interest to get Nigeria restructured unfortunately is now the theatre of so many sectarial violence including the dreaded boko haram insurgents.

There's no home better than remaining abroad for life.
