cultists have killed a student of the University of Abuja identified as
Onyekachi Azubuko, behind his parents’ home.
It was gathered that residents of the area were thrown into panic
when they heard sporadic gunshots by unknown gunmen, who were believed
to be members of a cult group.
According to Punch Metro, the 25-year-old undergraduate, was
discovered shot dead on Tuesday afternoon shortly after stepping out of
the house to meet some friends, and his corpse was identified by his
brother, Joel, before it was taken to the Kubwa General Hospital by the
police.
The deceased's father, Azubuko who was at work when Joel told him
about the incident, prompting him to visit the Kubwa General Hospital
morgue to see the body of his second son.
Speaking to correspondets, the father of the slain student who was
reluctant to comment on the incident at his residence on Thursday, said;
“The family has nothing to say on the incident, the police are
already investigating it and if you need any information, please, go to
the Kubwa Divisional Police Station,” he stated.
Azubuko said Onyekachi was planning to go back to school before he
was killed, adding that he was trying to raise money for him and his
brother, a student of Abia State University.
He described the deceased as a brilliant student and a good
sportsman, noting that he had warned him against keeping company with
men of suspicious character.
“He was a son dear to my heart, a good sportsman and a
brilliant student. But I observed that he had been derailing, he has
been keeping company with some suspicious characters and I asked him
about his friends, but he denied being a member of a cult group.
“We are a strong Christian family and we don’t condone acts of
indiscipline. I warned him several times about the company he was
keeping,” the father said.
He said the family was already making arrangements for Onyekachi’s funeral.
