Edo Student Killing : LG Boss Faults Police Report
Chairman of Esan West local government area , Hon Patrick Aguinede, has faulted the Nigeria Police report that the killing of some students at a graduation party on Tuesday night was cult related.
Hon Aguinede said investigation showed that there was disagreement among some ‘G-boys ’ also known as Yahoo Yahoo , over money sharing.
Some final year students of the Ambrose Alli University , Ekpoma and a female member of the National Youth Service Corps ( NYSC) were killed by gunmen at the party .
The slain corps member was said to have visited her boyfriend who was said to be the target of the gunmen.
Spokesman of the Edo State Police Command , DSP Chidi Nwabuzor , said a rival cult gang did the killing.
But Aguinede said the killers missed their target and angrily killed five persons at the party .
He urged security agencies to beef up surveillance around the community .
He said , “The true position is that it was not cult related as being speculated . It has to do with disagreement over money .
“We gathered that those G-boys from places like Kenya were quarreling over money .
“It is unfortunate that the boy they came for escaped and they now killed five persons. Four boys and a girl. ”
