Gunmen Kill First-Class Graduate On His Way To Anambra For NYSC
Sule Mathew, a first-class graduate of the Bayero University, Kano has been shot dead by unknown gunmen on his way to Anambra for the mandatory one year National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme.
Nigeria News House gathered that Sule, a graduate of the Faculty of Communication was killed with other passengers at Ekwulobia, in Anambra State.
A course mate of late Mathew, Silas Manager, who spoke to PR Nigeria said the victim was billed to participate in the forthcoming orientation program of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) before his death.
“Mathew lost his father in June, few months to his final examination, and graduated as the overall best student of our Department in August 2021 and was due to enroll for mandatory NYSC program next week.” Salis Manager, a course mate of late Mathew said.
His sister, Jemila disclosed that Mathew travelled with his boss on that ill-fated day along with other passengers including the driver in a private vehicle.
“After waylaying them, the gunmen opened fire on them killing all of them except the driver who escaped. So, when we couldn’t reach him and heard of the incident, we sent Sule’s picture to the mortuary to confirm if he was among those killed and we got feedback that he was identified among those killed,” she narrated.
May his soul Rest in Peace.
