Prof. Okai’s murder was the second in the last one month in the university.
The first was Christie Angbulu, a lecturer in Biochemistry Department, who was kidnapped while attending a workshop in Kogi and was later killed by the abductors.
Angbulu’s body was buried in a shallow grave.
The elder sister of the deceased, Mrs. Ann Joseph, told journalists that the late professor came out of his house about 3:00 a.m. to see why the dogs were barking only to be confronted by two two gunmen.
“The gunmen shot him in the head, leaving him in a pool of his blood and escape, Mrs. Ann said.
