Two students of the American University of Nigeria, Yola, Adamawa State, were on Sunday night killed by suspected armed robbers.
University authorities said the students went to the Jimeta main market, about 14 kilometres from the main campus of the AUN to buy suya when they were attacked.
A statement on Monday by the President of the university, Dr. Margee Ensign, gave the names of the deceased as Mr. Levi Yusuf and Mr. Abaagu Charles.
“The students were attacked and killed by armed robbers on Sunday night of September 4 at a suya spot near the Jimeta main market in Yola, capital of Adamawa State,” the statement said.
Ensign was quoted as saying she was “deeply saddened by the untimely death of the two students in the prime of their lives.”
The bandits were said to have fled with a vehicle belonging to one of the students.
