A wave of grief has swept through the academic community following the tragic death of a final-year student, Precious A. Briggs, just two days after celebrating his sign-out. The heartbreaking incident reportedly occurred outside the campus of Niger Delta University (NDU), Amassoma, and is believed to be linked to an altercation with alleged cultists. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

News of the incident was brought to light by a concerned individual, Maaloo Dgreat, who took to his Facebook page—later shared widely on X (formerly Twitter)—to mourn the devastating loss.

“I am heartbroken to hear about your death. The cultists who shot you will never know peace. This is not just a great loss to NIDSUG but to Rivers State. Rest on, Precious A. Briggs,” he wrote.

In a detailed post, Maaloo recounted how the young man was allegedly involved in a confrontation with a cult group. After the fight, he was shot while attempting to leave the area. His friends rushed him to a nearby hospital, but in a tragic twist, the hospital allegedly refused to admit him. He passed away shortly after.

“He had just signed out two days ago and was scheduled to defend his final project in three days,” Maaloo added. “This is beyond painful.”

The incident has sparked outrage and sorrow online, with many calling for urgent action against cult-related violence on campuses. The comment section of the original post was filled with heartfelt reactions:

Saviour Saviour Idungafa: “Shocking news. He was a gallant comrade in NIDSUG. May God have mercy.”

Christine Kyle Ebohimen: “Cultism on campus in 2025? I thought we were past this. Such a senseless loss.”

Emumotimi Bryant Sien: “As a son of Rivers, this hurts. Cult initiations should be outlawed in schools entirely.”

Victor Amatu: “Feels like a nightmare… What’s really going on at NDU?”

Raphael Barry: “Heartbreaking. I just hope he wasn’t one of them.”

As this tragic story continues to unfold, it raises serious questions about student safety, cult violence, and the responsibility of institutions to protect their students — especially in their final days on campus.
