Gunmen Kill UNIBEN 300level Student On Campus. by EXICON(op): 7:08am On Oct 27, 2014
There was pandemonium at the Ugbowo Campus
of the University of Benin on Friday when a 300-
level student of the Department of Chemistry,
Gbenedio Ejyroghene, was gruesomely murdered
by unknown gunmen.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Ejyroghene, popularly
called “Kazito,” was taking part in a jeans carnival
organised for final-year students of the Faculty of
Physical Sciences at the 1000-Lecture Theatre
field of the faculty when he was shot in the head
by the assailants around 7pm.
A source in the institution, who pleaded
anonymity, told our correspondent that the late
chemistry student was on probation until his
death and was often spotted in the final-year
class of the department.
He said, “He was in 300 level and was on
probation. But he was not always in his class.
“A final-year jeans carnival was being held on that
day for the faculty and students were having fun.
So, he joined them. Suddenly, we heard a
gunshot.
“We didn’t even know that he was the one that
was shot. It was later that we saw him on the
ground.”
The Public Relations Officer of the institution,
Harris Osarenren, who confirmed the incident,
said that the remains of the deceased had been
deposited at the University of Benin Teaching
Hospital.
He also disclosed that the case had been reported
to the Ugbowo Police State while investigation
had commenced.
He said,“The incident which took place at the
Ugbowo Campus of the University has been
reported at the Ugbowo Police Station, while the
body has been deposited at the University of
Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City.
“Investigation is on-going by the Nigeria Police
Force to unravel the circumstances surrounding
his death.”
Efforts to reach the Public Relations Unit of the
Edo State Police Command, however, proved
abortive at the time of filing the report.
