Two die in suspected cult killings at UNIBEN

40

Two unknown young men have been shot dead in what is suspected to be a cult killing at the University of Benin, Edo State.

According to eyewitnesses who spoke behind closed doors, the incident occurred at 5 p.m. on Friday.

Vehicles on the University of Benin’s Ugbowo campus were restricted to utilising only the entry gate to enter and exit the university.

All efforts to speak with the school authority through the UNIBEN Public Relations Officer have proved abortive.

The university security outfit did not grant our reporters access to the school, neither did they speak concerning the suspected cult killings.

When contacted for comments, the student union president declined to make any public statement.

The Police Public Relations Officer in Edo State said they are not aware of such incident. He, however, said he will get back to our reporters once the need arises.
