At least, two students of the University of Jos were killed in a clash between members of two cult groups at the off campus White House Hostel.
White House Hostel is located opposite New Legislative Quarters, along Bauchi Ring Road, in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The victims were identified as Jakob Kefers, a 100 level student of the Admin and Planning Department, and Gideon Chongtami, who had already graduated from the Theatre Art Department of the institution.
A vigilante in the area said the incident occurred around 10pm on Monday when a rival group embarked on a reprisal attack on some members of another group who resided in the said hostel.
The vigilante added that one of the corpses was deposited at the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) while the other one was deposited at Bingham Teaching Hospital, Jos, by the police.
When contacted, the spokesman of the State Police Command, Ubah Gabriel, said he would get back to the press but as at the time of filing the report, he hasn’t called back.
