Gunmen have killed the chief architect in the Works and Physical Planning unit of the Cross River University of Technology (CRUTECH), Bassey Inyang.
The architect was murdered on Thursday evening at his home at Airport Road, Anantigha area of Calabar South.
A source said the gunmen, who arrived in a bus, also collected the mobile phone of the victim’s wife.
Cross River police spokesperson, Irene Ugbo, confirmed the incident, saying that two robbery suspects believed to be linked to the attack have been arrested.
“The man and his wife were coming back from church when some people in a bus close to his house waylaid and attacked them. No arrest has been made. We are investigating the incident.
“However, we had a breakthrough this morning. We arrested two robbery suspects with a locally made pistol in Calabar South. They are currently in our custody. We are waiting for the DPO of Efut to transfer the case to State CID,” Ugbo said.
