According to the PUNCH , the school
became a killing field when suspected
members of a rival gang on an
apparent reprisal attack to avenge the
killing of one of their members stormed
the Shammah Hostel, a private hotel on
Tuesday Night and shot at least five
people dead
.The Benue State Police Public Relations
Officer, Moses Yamu confirmed that
five persons were killed in the attack
but eyewitnesses in the area said six
persons were killed even as another
corpse was found locked up in a room
with many injured students after the
police came to evacuate five dead
bodies.
The attack may not be unconnected
with the killing of a student and
injuring of another by a rival cult
group within the school’s community
on Monday.
Confirming the report, Head of
Information and Public Relations Unit
of the institution, Mrs. Rosemary Waku,
said five corpses belonging to students
and a security man attached to the
private hostel – who were killed in the
attack, had been evacuated by the
police and taken to the morgue at
Mandona Hospital, Wurukum, Makurdi.
She added that one more corpse was
later discovered by some injured
students after their attackers had dealt
with them and locked them up in a
room.
Waku explained further that the
number of deaths could not yet be
ascertained as the school’s authority
and the police were still going round to
check if there were other dead bodies in
the area.
She disclosed that the university
authority was holding marathon
meetings, trying to take some decisions
on getting across to the parents of the
victims. She said the names, levels of
studies and their departments would
need to be known to the parents and
the public.
According to her, the police have been
drafted to the campus to further
provide additional security coverage for
the school.
