Police arrest graduating student-cult leader who fired gunshot after sign-out

An intelligence-led police operation in Cross River State has led to the arrest of a 24-year-old graduate student, Emmanuel Ejim Ejim, who was identified as the leader of a cult group involved in a violent incident during a university sign-out ceremony. This occurred on Saturday, following a viral video of Ejim firing a gun from a moving black jeep during the event.

Additionally, the suspect's gang is suspected of firing shots throughout Calabar on their way to the school. The Commissioner of Police, CP Ajo Geoffrey Ordue, had previously ordered the arrest and identification of those involved. Ejim, a UNICROSS University student, reportedly identified himself as a leader of the Vikings Confraternity and admitted to firing the shots in the video.

The incident has prompted an intensified investigation to identify and apprehend any other individuals connected to the event. The exact circumstances surrounding the firearm possession and vehicle movement are still under investigation.
