A yet-to-be-identified student of the University of Benin was shot dead by gunmen while driving out of the institution’s main gate at Ugbowo in a JLK Mercedes-Benz on Sunday night.
Eyewitnesses said the student was shot at close range by masked gunmen, who fled the scene immediately after the attack.
A video circulating online showed the aftermath of the attack.
Two other occupants of the JLK Mercedes-Benz who survived the attack were said to have been rushed to the University of Benin Health Care Centre for treatment.
One student said, “They shot him at close range, and there was no way he could have survived the attack. Two others who were in the vehicles were also injured and rushed to the school’s health care center.”
Operatives from the Ugbowo Divisional Police Headquarters later arrived at the scene to evacuate the remains of the victim.
The Divisional Police Officer, SP Emmanuel, said details surrounding the incident were still sketchy.
The Edo State Police Command is yet to issue an official statement on the matter.
In a separate incident, another student was reportedly chased with a machete at the Social Science Lecture Theatre on Saturday but escaped unhurt.
