A Nigerian Doctor of Philosophy, Dr Ibrahim Adam Mailafiya, was yesterday killed by armed robbers in Kano state, just days after he returned to Nigeria from the United Kingdom with a fresh PhD from the University of Leeds.

Dr Ibrahim Adam Mailafiya was shot dead yesterday on his way to Kano to see his family. Friends and family have been mourning him on social media since the news broke.

Pictured below is Dr Ibrahim’s last post on Facebook. May his soul rest in peace.
