Following the brutal murder of 4 undergraduates of University of Port Harcourt by Aluu Community on Friday. The students on Tuesday embarked on violent demonstration.
On Friday, October 5, 2012, four students namely:
- Biringa Chiadika Lordson, a second year Theater Art student with matriculation number: U2010/ 1805036,
- Ugonna Kelechi Obuzor, a second year Geology student with matriculation: U2010/5565149,
- Mike Llyod Toku, 200 level Civil Engineering student with Matriculation number: U2010/3010094 and Tekena Erikena yet to be confirmed whether or not he was a student in the campus.
They were paraded by the vigilante group of the community naked; they were beaten without mercy and finally placed inside tyres and set ablaze in the presence of many indigenes of the community including the village head.
Yesterday, the students under the aegis of National association of Nigerian Students mobilized for protest against the inhuman treatment meted out to their fellow students. They hijacked Police Patrol vehicles, burnt down some houses within the community. Since after the incident, many indigenes of Umuokiri-Aluu Community have fled from the village because of the arrests being made by the police. The students went berserk, destroying many things in the town, and demanding for justice for the dead colleagues. When the Vice Chancellor wanted to address the protesting crowd, pure water sachets were thrown at him and seeing the situation was getting out of hand he announced immediate closure of the school until normalcy returns.
Meanwhile, the parents of the deceased students have petition the National Assembly and the Federal government to bring the perpetrators t book.
