A student of the Oko polytechnic, simply identified as Abuchi, an ND2 student of the Department of Public Administration has been confirmed dead after being stabbed by a caretaker.

Abuchi was stabbed on the neck by the caretaker at Currency Lodge on Saturday, April 24, over issues surrounding the pumping of water. 

It was gathered that the deceased and other tenants had complained to the caretaker about the lack of water in the lodge. This led to a fight between both parties during which the caretaker stabbed Abuchi. 

He was rushed to a nearby hospital by his lodge mates where he was confirmed dead. The suspect was said to have fled after the student died. 

Police officers attached to the Oko Division reportedly arrived on the scene in the aftermath of the fight to commence an investigation. The corpse has been deposited in the mortuary.

Friends, colleagues, and family members of the deceased student have taken to Facebook to demand justice.
