A 300-level Marine Engineering student of Rivers State University (RSU), Nkpolu, identified by his nickname as Montana Million, has been killed by suspected cultists, in Port Harcourt.
Daily Sun gathered that Million, who hailed from Etche Local Government Area of the state, was attacked and killed yesterday by armed men on his way to school.
The incident came barely 48 hours after a final year student in the Department of Agriculture of the institution, Prince Barisua, was shot dead by suspected cultists.
It was gathered that Million died following machete cuts he received from his attackers after several bullets fired at him could not penetrate his body. Meanwhile, police said two persons have been arrested in connection with the RSU cult clash and the suspects are helping the command in its investigation. Police said the duo of Chibuzor and Chibundu were arrested on Monday evening in connection with the killing of Barisua.
Police public relations officer in the state, Nnamdi Omoni, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), who confirmed the killing of the final year Agriculture student, disclosed that the suspects were helping the police with useful confessions and investigation was at an advanced stage.
Omoni said: “CP Mustapha Dandaura is still appealing to you to help us serve you better by sharing credible information that can assist us in our determined efforts to tackle these hoodlums.”
