“On January 27, 2026 at about 10:00 a.m., Engr. Dr. Otori Abdulfatai Aiyede of the Federal Polytechnic Bida visited Stella Joseph, a student of the Niger State School of Nursing and Midwifery, Tunga, Minna, to introduce himself as the new lecturer at the university.”

“During the visit, the suspect was served spaghetti and egg by the student. After the meal, he began convulsing and collapsed,” the source said.

Police officers from the Tudun-Wada Division were alerted and quickly went to the scene.
