A 25-year-old University of Jos graduate, Ibrahim Mbaya, popularly known as “Ibee,” has been killed by students over alleged phone theft.

Ohibaba learned that the incident occurred on Sunday at an off-campus apartment behind the City of David area, along Ring Road in Jos.

A video of the incident, which has gone viral, showed how the suspects beat him with planks and canes and subsequently subjected him to different forms of punishment that led to his death.

It was further learned that Mbaya, who was still processing an outstanding academic issue, had attended a social event on campus before deciding to spend the night at a friend’s residence in Ring Road because it was too late to return to his home in Rayfield.

It was reported that the following morning, his friends claimed an iPhone had gone missing and insisted that since they were the only occupants of the room, he was the prime suspect. Thereafter, they beat him to death.
