Students and staff of the Delta State Polytechic, Oghara, were this afternoon thrown into a state of confusion following the coldblooded murder of 3 students over what many are suspecting to be cult-related clash.
Narrating the incident to our reporter, a student of the institution who was at the scene of crime, said the hoodlums arrived a classroom where students were reading and went after their target smashing his skull repeatedly with stones and other dangerous weapons. The situation generated chaos in the school as students and staff scampered for safety.
“We were in the class when all of a sudden a group of cultist entered the class and started attacking a fellow student. They brough heavy stones and smashed his head spilling his blood over the place. All of us have to run for our dear lives’, the source who preferred not to be mentioned, said.
The source who later confirmed that 2 other students were shot dead, one in the school field and another towards the school gate, said the management of the institution has ordered students to vacate the premises with immediate effect.
As at the time of filing this report, the school’s public relation officer could not be reached for comments while the entire campus environment including school hostels have been vacated, with visible tension all over the community.
