Tragedy struck on Wednesday at the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun, when unknown assailants killed a lecturer, just as ASUU called off its five-month old strike.

The victim, Dr Segun Onabanjo, was a senior lecturer at the Department of Sociology.

According to eyewitnesses, the assailants broke into the deceased's residence in Odomolasa area of Ilese-Ijebu at about 1a.m. on Wednesday, shot the lecturer and ran away with some personal and household items.

The Police Public Relations Officer of Ogun Police Command, DSP Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed the killing of the lecturer and he also said that the Police is on the trail of the killers who escaped through a nearby bush.

``We are already working on some leads; the police engaged the criminals when they arrived at the scene and some were believed to have sustained injuries in the duel. We combed the area and found some blood stains which we hope will help in this case," he said.

He called on medical doctors in the state to alert the command in case they noticed anyone with gunshot wounds in their hospitals.
