Cultist dies during initiation ceremony
There was confusion and tension in Uli campus of the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Igbariam, formerly Anambra State University when a student cultist of Mechanical Engineering Department known as ‘Small’ died during initiation ceremony.
Anarchy would have been let loose but for the timely intervention of the Vice Chancellor of the University , Prof Fidelis Okafor, who mobilised security agencies to forestall further letting of blood in the campus.
According to the Prof Okafor, the student died following the torture he sustained from active initiation ceremony.
He said the anti-cult group stormed their initiation ceremony on a tip-off and while other members escaped, the victim who sustained serious injury could not escape and he was rushed to a hospital by the anti-cult group but he died.
In other to cover up why he died, his members spread rumour that he died in the hands of the anti-cult group and even mobilised to embarrass the institution but for the intervention of the security agents.
Prof Okafor, who was shocked to his marrow that such cultists still exist in the university despite the numerous opportunities given them to renounce said, “Devil has taken over some youths” but vowed to deal with cultists ruthlessly in the university.
Though a conflicting report insisted that the dead man was killed by anti-cult group while torturing him to confess his membership, this the management of the university insisted was false.
The Police have, however, taken over the institution to restore peace after addressing genuine students. They requested for information on those student cultists shooting during the aborted protest.
