A pharmacy student at the University for Development Studies (UDS) in Dungu, Mohammed Zakiu Wunpini, has been tragically stabbed to death.

Zakiu, who was preparing to enter his third year of study, was found dead on the evening of September 25, 2024.

His body, bearing multiple stab wounds, was found in an uncompleted building located between the Citadel Hostel and Kumbung Hostel on the UDS campus.

Initial reports indicate that Zakiu’s motorcycle and phone are missing, raising suspicions that he may have been attacked and robbed.

It was confirmed that he had gone out to watch a football match with a friend that evening, but he did not return.

In response to the incident, university authorities, including the Vice Dean, Dean of Students, and the head of Security, held an emergency meeting and later visited the regional police office on Friday to get updates on the ongoing investigation.

The campus has been thrown into a state of shock and grief as students and staff await further details surrounding the tragic death of their colleague.

His final funeral rites will take place today, September 30, 2024, at Gumani around Oasis
Restaurant.
