The Kogi State Police Command, Wednesday, disclosed it has recovered five corpses of Kogi State University students killed in cult clashes.
Speaking on behalf of the Command, the Spokesperson, DSP William Aya said in reaction to reports that 13 students had been killed during the clashes.
Ebira Reporters reports that the Police spokesperson in a statement listed the details of the casualties to include Justice Keke, a 300 level student of Physics Department who was killed in the campus after a theatre production on Nov. 1st.
He also said that a yet to be identified corpse was found in an uncompleted building behind the university on Nov. 2nd.
By the clarification, Abdulrahaman Usman who was a 200 level student of History and International Studies was killed at his father's lodge on November 3rd.
“On Nov. 3, two corpses, identified as that of Olaruntoba Godwin, a 400 level student of Geo/ Planning Department and Ajileye Richard, a 200 level Accounting student, were seen inside the bush behind Harbor Bay Hotel.
“These give a total of five persons killed and not 13 as reported by a section of the media,” Aya said.
He said that the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Akeem Busari had urged the citizens to disregard the misleading reports and be focussed on how to ensure a lasting peace.
Busari also assured people of the police’s readiness to provide a secured environment for all eligible voters to exercise their franchise without fear of intimidation and molestation during the Nov. 16 governorship elections.
He also promised to deal decisively with any political thug or hoodlum who might want to disrupt the electoral process.
