CITIZENS COMPASS– A senior official with University of Jos has narrated how Abdulsalam Idris, a 300-level medical student of the University of Jos (Unijos), was allegedly killed by his coursemate on Thursday.

The student died in the institution’s clinic following severe injuries as a result of  an assault by a group allegedly led by a fellow student, Fisal Dahiru Ibrahim.

UNIJOS’ security unit confirmed the death, saying the corpse had been transferred to the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) for autopsy.

The Acting Chief Security Officer of the institution, Agama Solomon, said the suspect claimed to have given Abdulsalam N30,000 to bribe a technician for exam grades but that when the results were released and the suspect failed he reportedly orchestrated an attack that led to Abdulsalam’s death.

He noted that the suspect had been apprehended and handed over to the police.

It was learnt that the incident occurred shortly after both the victim and the suspect completed their final examination in the 300 Level.

The death sparked concerns among his peers, who believed that such a violent outcome was unjustified and that he did not deserve to be treated in a manner that led to his death.
