Zuokemefa, who lectured at the Bayelsa College of Education was murdered in Yenagoa at the weekend by unknown gunmen.
The IYC President, Peter Timothy Igbifa in a statement condemned the killing of Zuokemefa describing it as barbaric, unacceptable and irresponsible.
Igbifa said the deceased was a firm believer in Ijaw cause, an apostle of peace and a scholar, who never deserved to die in such a violent manner.
He said the IYC would work with security agencies to ensure the arrest of the murderers and prayed God to give the family of the deceased the fortitude to bear the loss.
