The murdered students were alleged to have stolen the items in an
off-campus hostel. The students were said to be in their early 20s.
The students named Ugonna, Aladdin and Chidiaka were severely
beaten by the mob and burnt to death using car tyres.
According to witnesses, the irate mob refused to involve the police
in the case for prosecution before performing crude justice on the
said students.
No official police statement has been released on the incident but
we shall bring you details as they come.
