The Federal University of Technology Minna, Niger State, has been thrown into mourning following the killing of a female postgraduate student in the school, Bolatito Ajuola, by a man suspected to be her fiancee.

It was learnt that Ajuola, a student of Science Education, was allegedly stabbed to death at about 11pm on Monday at her off -campus residence.

Eyewitnesses said the man, Best Origboshe, was a worker in a company owned by the victim’s father in Ondo State, when the duo began a romantic affair.

However, Origboshe was said to have lost his job, resulting in Ajuola asking him to join her in Minna.

It was learnt that on Monday, Origboshe and Ajuola had returned from shopping when the victim prepared dinner and set the table for them to eat.

Northern City News gathered that Origboshe was reluctant to eat the meal, claiming that it was too hot when Ajuola queried him for shunning her food.
An argument was reported to have ensued between them.

A witness, who did not want his name in print, said, “During the argument, the man started beating the girl.

She rushed to the kitchen and emerged with a knife with which she injured her fiance. The man afterwards went to a nearby store, where he bought a brand new knife which he allegedly used to stab her in the breast and in the stomach.”

It was learnt that a professor in the university, who heard the cry from the house, rushed Ajuola and Origboshe to a hospital, where she was confirmed dead.

Her remains have reportedly been deposited in a morgue at the General Hospital, Minna.

Our correspondent gathered that Origboshe was initially being guarded at the hospital by some policemen, before he was later released to the police due to a crowd of students, who had gathered around the hospital.

The parents of the victim were said to have arrived Minna to recover their daughter's corpse and follow up with investigation.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bala Elkana, confirmed the incident, adding that investigations had commenced into the case.

Yesterday, the Kano State House of Assembly set up an eight-man committee to investigate the alleged misconduct of the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi 11. The committee would also investigate allegations of misappropriation of funds of the Kano Emirate Council.The assembly set up the committee after a member representing Nasarawa Local Government Area, Alhaji Ibrahim Gama, raised a motion of urgent public importance on the topic.Gama frowned at the recent comments credited to the emir over the proposed Kano lightrail project and argued:



 “The statement from the emir was capable of tarnishing his image, the government’s and that of the assembly. The emir, during his speech in Kaduna, alleged that the Kano State Governor (Umar Ganduje) and his entourage, including me as the chairman of the House Committee on Works, wasted one month in China seeking for loan to construct rail. The emir’s statement was not true. We spent only four days in China, and our visit was to find out the capability of the company to handle the rail project.”
He took a swipe at Emir Sanusi for sending his daughter to represent him in one of the functions organised by Bring Back Our Girls group in Abuja, describing it as inimical to the tradition of the emirate council.
“There are many responsible emirate council members who could represent him at the programme. This is the first time we are seeing such, in the historical traditional home,” he added.

He held that the mode of dressing of the emir’s daughter, during the programme, was an embarrassment to the emirate council and the tradition of Kano people. He also accused Sanusi of introducing religious issues contrary to the teachings of Islam, saying such things were capable of disgracing the religion.
