STILL smarting from the loss of a final year student who was allegedly
killed by police on May 27 in Benin City, the campus of the University
of Benin was last weekend thrown into turmoil after cult clash between
rival cult groups in the campus resulted into the death of some
students.
While the number of students killed so far could not be
ascertained as at press time, at least four deaths had been linked to
the ongoing cult clash in the institution between yet to be identified
cult groups.
Late last week, a student was reportedly shot dead
in broad daylight inside the main campus of the institution at Ugbowo in
Benin City.
The real name of the dead student could not be
ascertained but his alias was given as Snazzy, a 200-level student of
the Department of Mathematics, who was shot at the neck during a
bio-metric verification exercise.
In his reaction to the killings
at UNIBEN, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Edo State
Police Command, DSP Moses Eguaveon, said some arrests had been made in
relation to the killings.
