Sources say the undergraduate was called out by a neighbour, Sakariyau Abdulrofiu, 10 days ago only for his corpse to be found at the back of an Alfa’s house.
The rampaging students, who were dressed in black shirts and trousers chanted war songs and attacked motorists and journalists covering the protest.
