A UNIZIK lecturer, Dr. Fabian Osita, was tragically shot dead during a carjacking in Anambra State. The police have launched investigations into the rising insecurity.
A tragic incident occurred on Monday night in Anambra State, claiming the life of Dr. Fabian Osita, a lecturer at Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka. He was shot dead by armed carjackers near the high-tension area in Aroma Junction, Awka, while on his way home from work.
According to eyewitnesses, the gunmen intercepted Dr. Osita’s vehicle, a Toyota Corolla, and demanded the car. When he resisted, they shot him in the head, killing him instantly. The assailants abandoned his lifeless body at the scene and fled with the vehicle.
Dr. Osita was a dedicated lecturer in UNIZIK’s Business Department. His sudden death has plunged the university community into mourning.
The Chief Security Officer of the institution, Ken Chukwurah, confirmed the incident, adding that members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at UNIZIK are planning to protest the rising wave of insecurity in Awka.
