Port Harcourt— Two students of University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, were killed on the school campus during a fight, with members of Man-O-War, following a disagreement over N100, to complete the full payment of a cell-phone allegedly sold to one of the students by a Man-O-War member.
Vanguard learnt that a member of the uniform organisation had sold a phone to the final year student, identified as Bassey on an agreed amount. The student was said to have had difficulties, completing the payment, which was remaining N100.
Angered by the seeming foot-dragging of Bassey over the remaining money, the uniform man accosted the student, which led to trading of words, and eventually resulted to a fight.
Bassey, was said to have been seriously beaten by other Man-O-War members, who joined in the fight, following which he slumped and died.
A friend of Bassey, also a student, who attempted to rescue him from the grip of the uniformed men, was equally beaten to death. Stunned by the development, other students re-grouped, chased and fought every available Man-O-War member on campus, setting their belongings ablaze.
When contacted, Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Dr. Rita Inoma-Abbey told Vanguard that she was aware of “only one student, who was killed by Man-O-War”, but did not know of a second student, said to be a police officer, who died in the fracas.
Although the Public Relations Officer, PRO of the institution could not be reached, it was learnt that students were orderedto vacate the campus.

They should leave those man-o-war at the mercy of other students too,so they'll know how it feels to be beaten tn death. I just hate those cocky guys with uniforms.

What do you take us for? a bunch of kids from kindergaten?
How can you beat somebody to death over 100 naira and you come here to defend your cretinous members?
With all due respect topgear SHUT THE HELL UP, your scooby doo missions to secure your theiving and oppressing behinds is all you carry out. You guys are a shame and a disgrace to Nigerian students as a whole, I schooled in Uniport for 5 whole years and I am sorry to say there is nothing remotely good about the Man O war.

You are all made up of power drunk cultists, and I only blame the past cultists for giving you guys so much power. Is there ever anytime that you do not beat students? and always for silly reasons. You better take yourself and join your friends, you guys are lucky some of us have left the system because you have no place in civilization.

^^dont mind the mam-o-war guy,telling us jazz! I think the man-o-war thing should jusk be scraped,cus they've totally missed the essence of why it was established in the first place.
@imzy very unfortunate! I can't imagine how devastated their parents;killing their children cus of #100. Those guys must be thinking of graduating,and going for service,but some bastard just kill their dreams and efforts by taking their lives. Sad!

young men.what happened was unfortunate.but that was not what realy happened.thats the official story.you said you have stayed in uniport for five yrs.have you ever wondered why uniport has cooled down a little not like it was before.we are a very strong paramillitary organization.it is because of the strong agresiveness of some of our officers.peaple think its a cult related thing.we hate cultism.we fite cultist.because of some of our anti-cult operations it has led to some of our officers being gunned down by cultist.about 2 yrs ago,we lost 2 officers because information got to us about a particular cult group came to us that they were recruiting innocent people reading in classrooms.so we waged a war against them.and this led to the killing of two of our officers by cult members.we are not civilians.we trained security personels.i was in man o war for my seven yrs i spent in uniport readin medicine.i am now a colonel in the nigerian army. 4th battion.armed division 6.what happened was realy unfortunate.MAN O WAR AGILITY 4EVA

@top gear no dey lie for nigerians.i jus finished 4rum upee,no body recruits nobody in nyt class.is it in choba or ofrima clasess.did i jus hear u say u fought.hahaha u make me laugh.shit lie.wen u dey prepare 4mbbs.man o war sucks.all tru ma stay in sch notin good culd b said of dem.u nid to c d brutality of these guys.shaa dem dey look face.dem wan run from mandela.weaklings,

may their souls rest in peace

Topgear wit due respect - if it was ur relativ dat was involvd in dis wud u stil cme here 2 vomit dis rubish ? Man o war is a disgrace.PERIOD!

Its horrible when i read stories like this! And the shame is in when people like the guy who calls himself a general in the army and serving or ex manOwar stands up to defend their stupid act. I graduated from Uniport 6yrs ago, and of the four yrs i spent there, i hated the manOwar with a passion. They are just a bunch of ignorant folks who thrive in the weakness of poor students who they claim to protect. They head robbries, cult activities, rapping of girls and wat have u. Imagine the pain the family of those 2boys will be feeling now. The next thing will be to brand the dead boys cultists and that it was in the interest of security that it happened. I think it reflects where we are as a people and that in our country anything goes. I bet u this is totally unacceptable anywhere in the worl! Am so furious right now.

got more info on what realy happened.honestly speaking,its a realy sad story and the man owar bleeped up bigtime.wen i was in uniport it was`nt like this.i think man o war in that school is now forgeting thier mandate giving to them by the school which is to maintain peace and secure the lifes of thier fellow students.
