The National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) appoints Ramatu Ibrahim as acting bursar following the killing of the university’s former bursar, Nasiru Gusau Marafa. Multiple outlets report that the appointment follows Marafa’s death in Zamfara State.
Daily Post Nigeria adds that Marafa is killed on 6 September 2026 and that the announcement comes through an official statement released in Abuja. It also says the statement is made by the Registrar of the Council, Mr. Oladipo Ajayi. The Punch Nigeria focuses primarily on the appointment itself and links it directly to the former bursar’s killing, without adding further procedural details.
Across the reports, the key points are that NOUN makes a temporary leadership appointment for the bursar position and that it is a direct response to Marafa’s murder. The outlets do not provide differing claims about other aspects of the incident in the excerpts provided.
