A 26-year-old student of Delta State Polytechnic, Oghara, Ethiope West Local Government Area has been hacked to death by Cultists.
Frank Ochuko was mowed down on Sunday night by his assailants who are believed to be members of a rival cult group.
Local sources said Ochuko was returning home when he was attacked with a cutlass, battle axe, and other cudgels by his killers.
“Frank who sat for exams yesterday morning went to see a lecturer who had sent for him in a hotel in the community.
“He was returning when he was attacked by a group of men who were wielding cutlasses and axe. They killed him and dumped his body somewhere in the community,” a source volunteered.
Another source, Avweroso, alleged that late Frank was a member of the Aro-Baga cult group and he was dating a girl, who also was dating another cultist from Aiye.
“They almost fought in school some time ago. So I think his death is a cult-related issue,”
the source said.
Delta State Public Relations Officer DSP Onome Onowakpoyeya said:
“Yes, a young man at the polytechnic, Otefe, Oghara, was killed yesterday and the police are investigating the killing,”
