It was learned that the resistance put up by the 25-year-old final year student of Education and Political Science was what made the suspects stab him multiple times and also tried to snuff the life out of him with a rope round his neck.
The UNICAL final year student was said to have run over a security man when he lost control of the car.
It was further gathered that the security man died at the hospital where he was rushed to in Calabar.
Confirming the incident, the Cross River State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Irene Ugbo, said an investigation had already commenced on the matter.
