UNIBEN final year student shot dead by gunmen
A final year part-time student of the University of Benin, Edo, was shot dead on Sunday.
He was shot dead in front of the school’s main gate while in a car.
Gunmen, driving in another vehicle, reportedly trailed the yet-to-be-identified student before attacking him in his GLK SUV near the university’s main gate.
Checks showed the victim was a Political Science Department student who had just completed a semester examination before the fatal attack.
Also, a female student of the institution was reportedly struck by a bullet. The student, reportedly from the Biochemistry Department, was taken to the hospital immediately.
