Kidnappers of a lecturer with Abdu Gusau Polytechnic Lecturer in Zamfara State, who doubles as the Student Affairs Officer of the school, Sanusi Halilu, have killed him.
The Lecturer, who was abducted five weeks ago, was killed by his abductors despite paying N5 million ransom demanded.
A close source told Channels Television that the N5 million ransom was delivered to the bandits on Tuesday in a bush near some villages along Kaduna-Zaria Road in Kaduna State.
The bandits confirmed his death less than 24 hours after the payment of the ransom.
Halilu was kidnapped alongside others on his way to Abuja for the National Youth Service Corps mobilisation of the polytechnic students.
