Suspected cultists kill 2 varsity students In Edo
Two students of Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma, Edo State, have been killed in a renewed cult clash in the institution.
The students were reportedly shot dead last Friday by yet-to-be identified gunmen. The killings come less than 48 hours after one Eddy was reportedly beaten and left for dead by a group of persons for allegedly purchasing items with “fake bank alert.”
News of Eddy’s ordeal was said to have been misconstrued for an attack by rival cult members.
The misrepresentation of facts reportedly led to a retaliation by a rival cult group, resulting in the death of the two students on Friday.
A Student Union official, who is a 400-level student in the Faculty of Agriculture, was killed at the Poultry Road extension in Ekpoma.
When contacted, Spokesman for the Edo State Police Command, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, confirmed the killings, adding that some suspects had been arrested.
“Yes, the Command is aware of it and investigation is ongoing in the matter and some suspects have been arrested,” the PPRO said.
