UPDATE: 4 UNIBEN students dead
Four students of the University of Benin have been reportedly killed in a renewed cult war between two rival cult groups.
It could not be ascertained what led to the recent killings.
Sources said two of the victims were at Osasogie Street close to the university main campus at Ugbowo along the Benin-Lagos express road.
They said several shots were fired in other areas around the university including the staff quarters.
Apparently in reprisal attacks, another two students were shot inside the university campus where students queued for biometric registration at the university sports complex.
One of the victims who is a 200-level Mathematics student and simply identified as Snazzy was shot in the neck.
The attackers reportedly dropped their guns and escaped in the ensuing stampede.
