Parents demand justice as gang reveals why they murdered 3 undergraduates in Rivers

Parents of three university students who were murdered in Rivers State have urged the police to ensure justice was done in the matter.

The parents made the demand after a gang of five, that allegedly murdered the students, confessed to the police in the state that they committed the act and revealed their reason for doing so.

The gang leader, Bright Iheachi, aka Nelly, said when paraded by the police on Wednesday that he ordered for the killing of the students.

On why he did so, he said, “I was the person that ordered my colleagues to kill the three of them, but it was Nelson (Nwafor) that I had wanted them to kill, but I later changed my mind and decided that the three of them be killed.”
