Two of the three persons killed by suspected cultists in Rivers not our students –UNIPORT
The University of Port Harcourt said on Saturday two of the three persons murdered by suspected cultists in Eleme local government area of Rivers State were not students of the institution.
The state police command had Friday recovered the decomposed remains of the three persons — Joy Adoki, Nelson Nwafor, and Fortune Obimba —in a shallow grave in Etoo, Eleme LGA.
UNIPORT Spokesman, Dr. William Wodi, who disclosed this in a statement, said the only student of the institution was Joy Adoki.
Wodi said the two male victims were not students of the institution.
According to him, the girl was expected to be with her parents after the closure of the university in March.
