ABSU final student reportedly murdered after cult clash in Abia State
An Abia State University final-year student, identified as Emmanuel has been seen in a viral video attacking in retaliation by cult members.
Emmanuel, a recent recruit to the Black Axe (Aye) Fraternity, and his cult members reportedly went on an operation on Monday, March 11, against the Vikings, a rival clan.
Emmanuel reportedly took a bullet during the altercation and fought to escape for his life. Unfortunately, he was captured by rival factions and received a fatal blow that ended his life.
In a widely shared video, Emmanuel is shown fumbling to get away before being kicked by opponents of the cult group.
Nonetheless, his classmates and acquaintances have lamented his passing on social media, pointing out that he had just finished writing his final test prior to the tragic event.
Additionally, out of concern for their safety, ABSU students at Miracle Lodge, the scene of the event, have left the area.
In the meantime, ASP Maureen Chinaka, the spokesperson for the Abia State Command, acknowledged the occurrence in a statement on X, stating, “Abia state police command is aware.”
“Our officers rushed quickly to the crime scene, working with the military, and the perpetrators fled when they saw our officers. The body has been taken to the morgue, and the investigation is still underway.”
