Unknown gunmen on Monday night have invaded residence of Professor Godswill Obioma, Registrar of National Examinations Council NECO killing him in what his wife suspected to be an assassination.
“The assassins came in and killed him and left without taking anything,” Elizabeth Obioma told Peoples Gazette by telephone on Tuesday morning.
Crying copiously, Mrs Obioma said her husband had just returned to Minna from a trip to Abuja when the armed men, prowling in his compound, descended on him and strangled him.
Mr Obioma is said to have been facing challenges to remove him from office as the head of NECO, a prominent examination body run by the Nigerian government.
