Registrar of the University, Alhaji Musa Labbo, announced the closure in a statement made available to newsmen in Birnin Kebbi, on Sunday.

“This is to inform all students of the university that the management has directed the closure of the school indefinitely.

“Therefore, all students are hereby directed to leave the university with immediate effect”, the statement said.

NAN reports that an eyewitness who spoke to newsmen said the deceased, identified as Sharif Sale-Kanya, who was about writing his final examination, reportedly bought a handset in Aliero town, on Saturday and made payment through a transfer.
