Police Draft Detectives To Kogi University Over killing of 13 Students By Cultists

The Nigerian Police has said that a team of detective officers has been deployed to Kogi State University, Anyigba, to arrest those behind the recent cult killings that left 13 students dead.   

The Kogi State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Busari who confirmed the incident, said that the detective team would ensure that those behind the crime are made to face the law.  

The killings, according to investigation, were reprisals carried out by one of the cults whose leader, a student of Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja, was murdered by another cult linked to the university.

Investigation revealed that the university  killings started last Friday when nine students, including a 200 level female student and her boyfriend,  were hacked down on the campus and at different points within the host community.

Some of the victims were allegedly attacked on Stadium Road and Our Lady Fatima’s Lodge. They were brutally murdered and their body dismembered by their assailants.

 Injured students were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment, just as many others fled the town for fear of being killed.

Investigation shows that while most of the students are currently in panic mode as a result of the killings, the university authorities appear to be unconcerned and moved by the development.

The Public Relations Officer of the university, Joseph Edegbo, refused to comment on the issue, however, described the incident as ‘very sensitive.
