Gunmen Murder Delta State University Professor in Asaba

Emeka Chukwuma, a 56-year-old professor at Delta State University, Abraka, has reportedly been killed by gunmen.

According to sources, Chukwuma was attacked at his residence in the St. Bridges area of Umueji, Asaba, the Delta State capital, on Friday night.

The professor had returned to Asaba for his routine weekend visit when the unfortunate incident took place.

“Emeka Chukwuma was assassinated in Asaba on Friday night. He usually comes home every weekend. Unfortunately, he returned yesterday for his usual weekend and was killed in his house,” a source disclosed.

It was reported that Chukwuma had previously lectured at the university’s Anwai campus before it was converted to Dennis Osadebey University. He had since been teaching at the Abraka campus.

The source further raised alarm over the growing insecurity in the area. “As I speak to you now, Asaba is no longer safe. We are confused over the situation,” the source said.

Chukwuma’s tragic death has sparked renewed concerns about security in the region, prompting residents to call for immediate intervention.
