The National Association of Niger State Students, NANISS, has expressed deep sorrow over the killing of Abdulkareem, a 200-level student of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, IBBU, Lapai.
The association, in a statement on Monday, described the student’s death as a tragic loss and called on the university management to take immediate steps to improve campus security.
“We mourn the painful loss of our colleague, Abdulkareem. His death is not just a blow to his family, but to the entire student community in Niger State,” the group said.
The association joined students who staged a peaceful protest in Lapai on Monday, demanding urgent intervention from the government and school authorities to prevent further loss of lives.
“We urge the university management and relevant security agencies to take proactive steps to secure student lives and property. No student should have to live in fear,” NANISS added.
DAILY POST reports that the victim, Abdulkareem, was stabbed in the neck by suspected robbers who attacked his lodge in the Ndakikpabu area. He later died at the General Hospital in Lapai.
The Niger State Police Command said it had deployed tactical teams to restore calm and launched an investigation into the incident.
