Some gunmen on Sunday shot dead Mallam Murtala Mohammed, a lecturer at the Mass Communication Department of the University of Maiduguri in Borno State.
Eyewitnesses told the News Agency of Nigeria in Maiduguri that Mohammed was shot at his 202 Housing Estate, opposite the university campus.
"He was shot at close range by a group of teenagers shortly after observing the Zuhr Prayers in front of his house," the witness said.
Also speaking, Mallam Yussuf Ibrahim, a neighbor of the deceased, said the victim appeared to have been trailed by his killers from the university campus before coming to his house.
"Apparently, the killers must have trailed him from the university campus where he had gone to perform some official assignment in the morning," he said.
Ibrahim also said the killers fled immediately after shooting the deceased severally at close range.
Also confirming the incident, Mallam Ahmed Mohammed, the Chief Information Officer of the University, said he heard about the sad event in the afternoon.
He said however that the University authorities could not take immediate action as the lecturer was killed outside the campus.
