Technology, ESUT, Agbani were, Friday night, shot and wounded by
suspected armed bandits who invaded their hostel.
The students were undergoing treatment at the University of Nigeria
Teaching Hospital, UNTH, Ituku-Ozalla, Enugu, where they were rushed
to in the early hours of yesterday.
The father of one of the students said his son was undergoing surgery
at the hospital.
He said the student was shot in the stomach and it was suspected that
some bullets were lodged in his abdomen which doctors were battling to
remove.
The two other victims were also undergoing surgery at the hospital
while efforts were being made to contact their parents.
The Unique Hostel, where the incident occurred and other hostels
within the Agbani permanent site of the university, according to a
source, have been placed under security watch as it was suspected that
the gunmen could be members of a secret cult.
To forestall a reprisal attack, the source said, the management had
taken measures to beef up security at the hostels with plain-clothes
policemen deployed to strategic locations.
Enugu State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, who
confirmed the attack, said preliminary investigations revealed that
the gunmen could be "student-robbers", assuring that the police would
do everything to get to the root of the matter.
