Cultists shoot 100-level student as Rivers varsity suspends SUG week

On Wednesday, a 100-level student at the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education in Rivers State was shot by suspected cult members on campus, according to multiple sources. This occurred just two days after a shooting between rival cult groups, Vikings and Klu Klux Klan, which had caused tension on the campus. The victim, whose identity has not been confirmed, was rushed to a hospital where medical efforts were ongoing to remove bullet fragments from his body.

His friends are reportedly raising funds for his surgery. The police confirmed the previous clash between the two cult groups and are currently investigating the incident. In response, the university's management has suspended all remaining activities for the Students' Union Government Week and ordered students to return to their classrooms on Thursday, August 13, 2026, for normal academic activities.
