A lecturer at the Delta State University, Abraka, Prof. Emeka Chukwuma has been reportedly assassinated by yet-to-be-identified gunmen.

According to PUNCH ONLINE, a source disclosed that the 56-year-old professor was killed in his home in Umueji, Asaba, the Delta State capital, on Friday night.

Sources close to the family revealed that Prof. Chukwuma had returned to his hometown for his usual weekend visit when the incident occurred.

“Prof. Emeka Chukwuma was assassinated in Asaba on Friday night. He is a lecturer at the Delta State University, Abraka, Anwai campus but later went back to the Abraka campus after the conversion of Anwai campus to Dennis Osadebey University,” a source stated.

The source further lamented the safety situation in Asaba, saying, “Prof Chukwuma usually comes home every weekend, it is unfortunate that he came back yesterday for his usual weekend and was assassinated in his place at St. Bridges area of Umueji quarter, in Asaba. As I speak to you now, Asaba is no longer safe, we are confused over the situation.”

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, SP Bright Edafe, confirmed the incident and assured that the police are investigating the matter.

“Yes, it is confirmed, they have reported the matter to the police, and we are looking into the incident,” he said.
