Operatives of the Imo State Police Command have arrested a 300-level student of Imo State University, IMSU, Owerri, named Francis Marvellous, 21yrs, for allegedly stabbing to death Chinagorom Marvellous Kingsley ‘m’, 22yrs, who is a final year student of the Federal University of Technology Owerri, FUTO.

Parading the suspect at the police headquarters in Owerri on Friday, the State Commissioner of Police, Aboki Danjuma, said the arrest was sequel to a swift response to a distress call received from the Chief Security Officer, CSO, of FUTO, retired DSP Patrick Egwu, by police operatives on convoy patrol who promptly arrested the suspect who was almost lynched at the scene by an angry mob.

The said,” The body of the victim was recovered and rushed to Federal Medical Center, Owerri where he was confirmed dead and deposited at the mortuary.

“On interrogation the suspect confessed to the crime, itting that he had a heated argument with personnel of the University’s Man O’ War Unit on 29/03/2024 at about 2200hrs during which he brought out a knife he neatly concealed in his tros and stabbed the victim to death. He mentioned three others who were with him during the fight. They include his brother Francis Promise, Prince and a man popularly known as Soji.

“Efforts are on top gear to arrest the suspects at large and ascertain their involvement in the case. The suspects will be arraigned in court upon completion of a comprehensive investigation by the State Criminal Investigation Department SCID.

“The Command, therefore, is using this medium to dispel the false narratives making the rounds on social media that the victim was stabbed to death by Hausa Fulani/Northern, warning that the misinformation is the handiwork of mischief makers who want to provoke unnecessary intertribal conflict between the good people of Imo State and the Northerners residing in the State.

“The Commissioner of Police Imo State Command, Aboki Danjuma has directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department to take charge of the case and ensure that the suspects involved in this case and purveyors of fake news are arrested made to face the full wrath of the law.

“Meanwhile, an eyewitness told our correspondent that another student whose identity was yet to be ascertained died in the incident.

“Policemen came and were throwing teargas canisters and students started running and jumping down from their hostels. Unfortunately an asthmatic student died. Another student broke her hand leg and was rushed to Federal Medical Centre in Owerri. Others also sustained injuries, ” he said.

ANGER is one letter short of DANGER.

dominique:

Which article did you quote this from? Certainly not from the op

Lol 😁,
No, not from the Op.
We are obviously in one of our dejavu feelings while typing that.
Thanks for pointing 👉 that out ma'm.
It's been fixed!

The werey don shev hin ops lmao

From campus to prison. Now, he would know what freedom means.

May God console their parents.

Anger is dangerous, we should always be patient and learn to walk away when the argument is getting heated.

. which kind collabo be this FUTO Vs IMSU

Are you sure this news is legitimate?


I was in FUTO during the incident, and I have heard different versions of the story, from the person who stabbed being an Hausa bikeman,
to the killed student being a 400 level student, who is also part of the man o war paramilitary group.
And now this.


I witnessed police men throwing teargas at students, around the girls hostel yesterday night, this led to a lot of chaos. In fact the most of last night was chaotic in FUTO.

Imagine spending the rest of your years in NIGERIA prison

E don be for this one

U are this emotion called anger, it's not worth it at all .... its good to get angry once once so that it adrenaline will boost but to know how to control ur anger is another course management on its own.

They say make una no gree, una dey misbehave. Now you will rot in jail

Futo guys should organise a reprisal attack. That's how we did it back in the early 90s

Everyone should be careful of how they relate to people. The hardship is messing with everyone's psychology, directly or indirectly. If you want to really know, go to the market and price carelessly, you would see how they would give it to you wotowoto! Same with bus drivers/conductors ...

I dont want to believe this is due to lack of self-control, He is just a heartless fellow

Cause what would make me resort to stabbing a fellow human during a heated exchange, would that make him accept my opinion or how is that gonna solve the issue

Fake news..

Hmmmmmmm

This one you are doing hmmmmm, is it because somebody broke bad news before you ?

Chai..


Is that Confra-Supremacy WAr??

IMSU vs Ihiagwa.


Chai,, I had taken bath at Atamiri in Ihiagwa.

Douglas, Ikenegbu, MCC, Urata, Obinze, Umuagwo...

Eisman Fries of lost glory!!

My area then.

Learn to control and channel your anger towards a useful outcome. This guy has just ruined his life, naija prison will finish what's left of his humanity. Sad!

Wait o, Nigerian police at it again! You have a suspect who confessed to his crimes and he didn't it his friends aided and abetted the crime so why are you searching for his friends?

The guy who was stabbed and is dead is the real loser here


Avoid unfortunate people they will drag you down

IMO police should not emulate those rouges at the Akobo division by cashing out on innocents

Na family matter... All in Imo

cracy

This is a cult case, because no reasonable person can move around with a knife except herdsmen, the act was premeditated... Say no to cultism!!!
