Recall that the news of the abduction of Professor El-Jummah was reported on March 3, 2025, along the troubled Damaturu–Buni Yadi–Biu road. The university don remained in captivity until he reportedly fell ill and died while in the custody of the terrorists. Sources revealed that news of the professor’s death was communicated to his traumatised family on Wednesday in Maiduguri.

A family member, who declined to be named, told Vanguard that “the late professor had been in Boko Haram captivity from March 2, 2025.
, until his death. May Allah forgive him and grant him mercy.”
The family source also declined to comment on whether a ransom was demanded by the terrorists.
