Update from UNIPORT says that the police arrested a Chief in Omokere Aluu community and 12 others in connection to the execution of four students of University of Port Harcourt over allegations of stealing phones and laptops.

Speaking on the matter, State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ben Ugwuegbulam kept mute as to if the victims were actually robbers, but he however condemned the act of killing them.

He said: “Rivers State Police Command unequivocally condemns the gruesome killing of four UniPort students on October 5, by irate mob from Aluu community. The command sympathises with the families of the slain students and also appeals to them not to take the laws into their hands.  Students of the university are urged not to engage in any reprisal attack as such could lead to chaos and anarchy.

“The command has commenced investigation into the incident. Amazing success has been recorded in that regard as 13 persons, including the chief of the community suspected to have been involved in the reprehensible, barbaric  act, have been arrested based on credible intelligence and video clips of the killings. Suspects are being interrogated by crack police team.”
