Dr. (Mrs.) Adefolalu Sherifat, a technology (FUT) Minna in Niger State, was discovered dead in her home in the town’s Gbaiko Area on Sunday.

Professor Gbolahan Bolarin, the chairperson of the Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) at the institution, verified the development.

According to Professor Bolarin, her body was found early on Sunday morning after churchgoers tracked down her residence after she vanished during the service.

According to some locals, she was discovered in a pool of blood with a gash in her throat and knives next to her after forcing the entrance to her home open. The body was later taken to the mortuary by police officials.

Some locals claimed that the late varsity teacher’s husband, a professor at the same institution, had departed from this life.

They also said that although she had been living with a female housekeeper until her death, they had fired the girl on Friday.

However, Wasiu Abiodun, the Niger Police Command spokesman, assured that more details regarding the event would be released when available.
