A 400L student of Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO) Owerri in Imo State simply identified as Marvelous has allegedly been killed by suspected herdsmen.
The incident took place on Friday morning, leading to confusion among the students and the school management.
A source who pleaded anonymity told ABN TV that the bridge linking Ihiagwa to Obinze has been completely cut off, leading travellers to use only the passage around the school.
According to him, lately Fulani herdsmen have been grazing their cow around the school area, heightening security concerns.
The deceased who is an operative of Man O’ War along with his colleagues were on patrol along a place called 700 Capacity when news filtered in that someone stabbed him with a poisoned dagger on the neck.
All efforts to save his life proved abortive as Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Owerri pronounced him dead.
The source dismissed reports that the killing of the student is cult related, insisting that it was an attack by Fulani herdsmen.
Efforts to reach the PPRO Imo State Command, ASP Henry Okoye proved abortive as he could not pick his calls.
