Late Prof Yusuf Saidu
Bandits have killed the Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Research, Innovation, and Development at the Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto Prof. Yusuf Saidu.
The school in a Monday statement said the late Saidu was killed on his way to Kaduna from his Sokoto base.
“The death has occurred of Prof. Yusuf Saidu the current Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Research Innovation and Development, Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto,” the statement read in part.
“He was attacked and killed by bandits on his way to Kaduna from Sokoto state; a man of integrity, religion, dedication, and courage,” the school said.
The school described his demise as a “painful loss” to the university, praying to God to rest his soul.
“May Allah accept his soul and forgive his sin but this is a painful loss to all members of the University community and the Academia at large,” the school added.
