UNIPORT 4: Police Dismiss Sergeant Who Ordered Students Lynched
The police on Thursday
said the policeman involved in the killing of the four students of the
University of Port Harcourt in Aluu, Rivers State, Sergeant Lucky Orji,
had been dismissed from the force.
The
spokesman for the police in Rivers, Mr. Ben Ugwuegbulam confirmed to our
correspondent in Port Harcourt that Orji had been dismissed and that he
was among the 13 suspects arraigned in court on Wednesday.
“He
(Orji) was among those arraigned in court yesterday (Wednesday). He is
no longer a policeman
because he has been dismissed,” Ugwuegbulam said.
The
four male students, Lloyd Toku, Ugonna Obuzor, Chiadika Biringa and
Tekena Erikena, were beaten and set ablaze by a mob suspected to be
residents of Omuokiri Aluu, a community located about three kilometers
to UNIPORT.
Thirteen suspects, including the traditional ruler of the community, were arraigned in court on Wednesday.
