A polytechnic lecturer, Yohanna Mbudai Bzegu, has been shot dead in Adamawa State, by yet-to-be-identified gunmen. Bzegu, a lecturer with the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Adamawa State Polytechnic, Yola, was shot dead in the early hours of Thursday at his Bajabure residence, behind Anglican Junior Seminary, a satellite town on the outskirt of Yola, the state capital. The assailants reportedly broke into his house and fired multiple shots into his chest and watched him breathe his last, while his wife looked haplessly. A source close to the family who pleaded anonymity said the attackers, gained entrance into their residence at about 3:00 am. However, while his two teenage sons died instantly, the cleric did not; although his attackers abducted his 13-year-old daughter, who has since regained freedom after an undisclosed sum of money was paid to her abductors as ransom.
