Terrorists have killed another university professor in Nigeria’s banditry-prone northwestern region. Tiri David of the Federal University, Dutsinma (FUDMA) in Katsina State was killed on Tuesday by bandits who also abducted two of his children during the attack. The deceased was head of the university’s Department of Agricultural Economics, Extension and Rural Development. Residents said Mr David was killed at about 1:30am at his residence in Yarima Quarters, a housing estate in Dutsinma Local Government Area. They said the terrorists invaded the community, firing into the air with sophisticated weapons as they headed straight for Mr. David’s residence, where they killed him and abducted two of his children. Katsina police spokesman Abubakar Aliyu confirmed the incident to reporters but said he could not immediately provide details. The incident in Katsina was the second time in less than 10 days that terrorists killed a university professor in northwestern Nigeria. Premium times reported How terrorists, known locally as bandits, killed Yusuf Saidu, a professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Usmanu Danfodiyo University in Sokoto. Mr Saidu and his driver were attacked on a terror-ravaged highway linking Zamfara and Kaduna states, according to university sources.
