The armed men sped off with his car. Shortly after, Fala villagers saw the three men and accused them of being Boko Haram members. They said the prof. was their leader and had given the vehicle to their members.
They started beating his father, his brother and
driver and afterwards dragged them to Kibiya police station
in Kibiya Local government area of Kano state where the late professor
was accused of being a leader of the sect group.
According to the driver,
despite the Professor showing them his ABU ID card, they still insisted
he was a Boko Haram leader and that his ID card was fake. The villagers
continued beating him with all kinds of weapons in the presence of the
police officers until he died inside the police station.
The driver
said when his boss died, the police men and the villagers started
jubilating that they had killed a Boko Haram leader. Officers of the
states Special Anti-Roberry Squad SARS afterwards came to collect his
body and dropped it off at the state hospital's morgue while the driver
and the Professor's brother were taken in handcuff's to the hospital.
A
search for the whereabouts of their father led the children to the state
morgue where they discovered his body. The hospital management
informed them that a SARS officer had dropped their father's body at the
morgue. They decided to call the SARS officer to find out what had happened
and the officer told them on phone that their father
was a Boko Haram leader and that his brother and driver are suspects and
would soon be interrogated. The children immediately contacted the ABU
school authority who contacted the police to inform them that they had
killed a leading agriculturist.
Speaking on the incident, the Kano state Police
Command PRO Majia denied any involvement of the police in the murder of
the Professor, saying that it was the villagers that killed him outside
the police station premises. According to Mr Majia, some gunmen had attacked
the villagers and in the process, two people were killed. He said the
villager,s suspecting the Professor was one of the armed men, attacked him
and killed him.
The professor has since been buried.
The
Inspector-General of Police, IGP Suleiman Abba CFR,
NPOM, NPM, mni, has viewed with
great concern the death in Kano, of Prof. Ahmed Falaki of the Ahmadu Bello
University Zaria. He has therefore ordered the Assistant Inspector-General of

investigation on the incident with a view to unraveling the circumstances
surrounding the attack and death of the renowned Professor of Agriculture.
Meanwhile,
some arrests have been made in connection with the incident, and the late
professor’s vehicle has been recovered in Bauchi State.
