Published: 2013 March 05 06:56:41 (5896 Views)
The Police has arrested no fewer than 70 persons in connection with the death of Damilola Damoche, a student at the Lagos State University, LASU.
Damoche was murdered in cold blood last Thursday by suspected cultists.
Vanguard gathered that the arrest was made by a combined team of the Area E police command who paraded the streets of Ojo, Iba, PPL, Igbo-Elerin, Igando, Okokomaiko, Iyana-Isashi and Onireke communities to fish out those involved in the clash.
The 25-year-old, who was a final year Banking and Finance student was brutally killed few metres away from the gate of the institution after writing a test.
Meanwhile, some pictures of corpses suspected to be students of the Lagos State University went viral on the Internet on Saturday, heightening tension in the school and its surrounding areas.
Consequently, students of the institution have expressed fear that some cult members might want to avenge Damoche’s death.
The Student Union President, Ibrahim Tunji said: “I have not received news of the death of any student. I left the school on Friday and I came back on Saturday. So I wouldn’t know if anything had happened. You know anyone can fabricate any story but I don’t think there is need for panic”.
The police transferred the arrested suspects to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad for further investigations.
