Palpable anxiety has gripped the University of Benin (UNIBEN), in Edo State, following the gruesome murder of a yet-to-be identified student of the institution, by unknown assassins.

CAMPUS GIST reliably gathered that the male student was murdered Monday night in cold blood right inside his room in the popular Hall 3 hall of residence on campus.

Fear and apprehension enveloped the University community, especially students living on campus, soon after the lifeless body of the student was discovered by his colleagues.

It was gathered that the deceased with “Mayor” as alias, was the head of popular social group, Kegite, on campus. Friends and colleagues describe him as a ”jolly good fellow.”

A video clip exclusively obtained by CAMPUS GIST Monday night, show that the deceased’s face was mercilessly slashed by the unknown assailants. Eyewitnesses claim he was shot at least thrice.

In what can best be described as a mystery, no one is yet able to come up with how the assailants gained entry into the campus’ hostel, carried out the act and escaped uncaught.

A male student who spoke to this Online Medium on the strict condition of anonymity, claimed that security in UNIBEN had deteriorated with little or no conscious security of students living on campus.

“Ever since Management brought in Solar (a private security firm) security surveillance on campus drastically reduced, even the potters drafted to man the hostels are elderly people who could barely chase a rat,” the student said.

On her part, a female students, who gave her name simply as Rejoice, told this Reporter that her friend, Joy (not real name) was almost raped at a time when they went for night reading.

“The school promised us security, that is why most of us chose to stay on campus not like it’s convenient. What do you tell a parent whose son was put under your care but murdered in cold blood? Who could be next? We are no longer safe!

“Let’s say the truth, the school is too exposed, we don’t feel safe no more – anybody, I mean, any outsider can just stroll into Campus and the hostels without been screened by security, they (security) don’t even take note of strange faces,” she claimed.

Efforts to obtain comment from the University Management proved abortive. As at the time of filing this report, the institution was yet to formally react to the development.

Also, spokesperson to the Edo State Police Command, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, said the police headquarters were yet to be briefed on the matter.

However, a statement endorsed by spokesperson for the University’s Students’ Union, Gerald Nnadi, advised the students to remain calm, as the authorities have been informed on the development.

“All students of the University of Benin are advised to remain calm and stay indoors,” he said, adding, ”If you are not on campus you can stay wherever you are. The relevant authorities have been informed and they are putting all hands on deck to bring normalcy (sic).”

Supreme Comradium has never been a cult group. Supreme Comradium as a matter of fact is older than many cult groups and discourages its members being in any cult group.

kpooshilistic tendencies cannot become came by way of comradium. Mbanefo! When shall it become?

However, as an archival XYZ I dont know what these kids do on campus anymore. They have destroyed jollification that was one of the avenue of reducing campus stress through the weekly gyration day-d. Only in Uniben do you see kegites members being gunned down this way. For instance in 2013 Ebose evans a.k.a papilo, Chief du azonoto, was also gunned down.

Make I no remind you of hits on uniben campus.
Yes, we they this town or this school na this or that frat get am, but na only one action from one hit dey change the narrative.
Benin city now na home of frats, make, eiye, mafite and even Viki. And that is how it is everywhere. Nothing special for cult, everyone eye don open, they now know say cult no dey give any extra human energy, na only one shot from one meat seller from the market e go take to down a very big cultist wey be graduate.
The most useless thing anybody can do is to join cult, very dirty mistake of cowards.
Hand never meet you, na him make you dey talk like goat wet drink monkey tail

Wow!. May his soul rest in peace.

Wanted to do a master's and PhD in Uniben. But after clearance and payment of acceptance fee. The things I saw in 2003; the panicky aura and latent feelings of uneasiness in and around campus?.

I ran for my life back to my UI in Ibadan despite the advantage I had in Benin and it's closeness to family and home.

God forbids!
