“We express our sadness for losing such an ingenious don and the originality that he had been able to contribute to the quality of education and knowledge service delivery at the university during his lifetime”, the Sultan stated.
In the meantime, the monarch, Abubakar, has called on the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies to unravel the circumstances surrounding the gruesome murder and fish out the perpetrators for prosecution
