Kogi State Police Command has confirmed the killing of Apeh Joseph by unknown gunmen at the Kogi State University, Ayingba.
Police said Joseph Apeh, a 400-Level student of English Education Department of the university, was shot inside the campus by two unknown men on a motorcycle.
The victim was rushed to the university teaching hospital where he was confirmed dead by medical doctors.
In a statement, released last night by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP William Aya, it claimed that the deceased was an alleged cultist, who was behind the cult killing that occurred in the university last month.
The remains of the deceased, the statement added, had been deposited in the morgue of the health facility for autopsy.
