There’s a popular saying that death is inevitable but then, no one deserves to die for a crime he or she didn’t commit. Even though it is true that everyone will die one-day but then, murder shouldn’t be one of the ways to die. No one deserves that.
Well, many people have been reacting to the death of a final year student which lead to the closure of the Kebbi State University Of Science and Technology. The university was shut down after a 22-year-old microbiology student was beaten to death. The 22-year-old student identified as Sharif was reported to have been beaten to death because of the sum of 3,500 naira. Sharif purchased a phone and immediately switched it off because he had an exam. A few hours later, Sharif realised that the payment he made for the phone was reversed because of network failure. After he saw the bank reversal, he went back to the place he bought the phone to tell them it was reversed. Sharif took cash along so that he could pay the 3,500 naira but on getting to the place, hoodlums attacked him for being a thief. He was badly beaten and was rushed to the general hospital. Unfortunately, sharif died shortly after his admission.
This story has stirred different reactions online. Many concerned Nigerians have expressed shock at the promising young man’s death. However, a Muslim lady reacted to the story by saying Sharif had just two (2) exams left to graduate, saying he was called a thief and a yahoo boy after he went back there.
