A graduate of the Federal University, Otuoke, Bayelsa State, was on Friday night shot dead in a suspected cult clash.
It was gathered that the clash was between members of the Neo Black Movement otherwise known as Black Axe and Vikings (DNKI).
The deceased graduate identified as Mark was reportedly shot in the stomach and attempts by friends and sympathisers to rush him to the hospital for medical care failed.
A source within the institution claimed the deceased was not the main target but the attackers made up of Black Axe hit men shot him because they could not locate their target.
“These armed boys did not see their target, and later saw Maro and shot him,” the source said.
He added that “the deceased would have survived. But while his friends were rushing him to the hospital, their vehicle hit a speed bump causing an accident.”
Few other friends described the deceased as a very calm and friendly person, who avoided trouble and was always smiling.
“He focused more on making money and was not actively involved in cult activities.
“Other friends said they never even knew he was a cultist because he often advised them against cultism.
“Vikings members had advised him to leave the area, but he stayed because of his girlfriend,” the source said.
