Abuja (Sundiata Post) – A lecturer in the department of Microbiology, Rivers State University (RSU), Prof Emmanuel Amadi was reportedly murdered on Wednesday in his Rumuolumeni, Port Harcourt.
According to Vanguard, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Rivers State Command, Nnamdi Omoni said he heard of the attack on the Professor from unofficial sources.
Sundiata Post recalls that similar brutal murder of another lecturer took place in the state in April.
At about middle of April, unidentified gunmen reportedly murdered Dr. Vincent Eebe, a lecturer of the Ken Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic in River State.
The lecturer was shot several times by his assailants along Bua-Yeghe in Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Eebe, a senior lecturer and the Director of Industrial Training of the polytechnics, Bori, was shot dead by suspected assassins on his way home from the polytechnic.
It was learnt that Eebe was heading back to his Port Harcourt residence before he was bracketed at Bua-Yeghe.
A community source, who gave his name simply as Henry, said that the victim was trailed by his killers from his office.
The source pointed out that when the victim noticed that a car was trailing him, he immediately ran out of the car in his bid to escape an attack.
It was gathered that when Eebe raced out of his car, the hoodlums ran after him and shot him several times and waited to ensure that he was dead before they drove off.
