ZARIA — Dr Iliyasu Abubakar Sadiq, a lecturer at the Division of Agricultural Colleges of Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, has been killed after he was abducted from his farmhouse at Tudun Muntsira, behind the university's Samaru campus. He was taken at about 10am on September 20 and found shot dead at about 2pm at Karau-Karau. His widow, Hajiya Baraka, told Daily Trust that four armed men, whose faces were not covered, broke into the house, demanded money, his phone and his ATM card, and then took him away. The late lecturer, a former Head of Programme for Pest Management who taught Entomology, is survived by two wives and nine children, the youngest about eight months old. The director of the division, Prof. Bashir Ahmed Babaji, said previous kidnappings of ABU staff had not ended in death. The Kaduna State Police Command had not given details at the time of reporting.
