BUK first-class graduate shot dead in Anambra

A first-class graduate from the Faculty of Communication, Bayero University, Kano (BUK), Sule Mathew, has been killed on his way to Anambra State for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme.
 
Mathew was killed with other passengers at Ekwulobia in Aguata Local Council of Anambra State.
  
Mathew, who hailed from Ayangaba in Kogi State, was co-founder of  hostutors.com, a Nigerian social enterprise, which focuses on making learning in formal and vocational education accessible and affordable for everyone.  
  

“After waylaying them, the gunmen opened fire on them killing all of them except the driver, who escaped.
So, when we couldn’t reach him, we sent Sule’s picture to the mortuary to confirm if he was among those killed. We got feedback that he was identified among those killed.”
   
His last post on social media during his final examinations in 2021 reads: ”So, what has really changed after four years?  Four years ago, I made a decision to leave everything including my distinction result in HND 1 to pursue a University degree. Today, I am graduating; Let’s look at what has really changed in the past four years.
 
“Before I dive into the tales of my transitions,  I want to sincerely extend my appreciation to God and to everyone, who has been part of my academic journey. My Parents, Uncle Joe, Aunty Omaye… the list is endless.
 
“My lecturers, who opened the doors of their offices and their hearts to share in my personal stories of losses and gains. My friends, who made me feel too well at home, even though I travelled closely 800 kilometres away from my home. You made BUK home away from home for me.”
