In a news that was posted by Punch Newspaper this morning, it has been alleged that men of the Imo State Police Command have launched a manhunt, for a hostel caretaker who killed 100 level student of Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Imo State that just resumed back to school last month for his academic activities.
According to the information that was posted, it was made known that the hostel caretaker demanded money for last year’s rent from the students occupying his hostel, and the students told him that they can’t pay the money or he should give them concession because, they didn’t use the hostel last year, due to the pandemic break.
After the caretaker, whose name hasn’t been gotten was told this, he insisted that they will all pay in full, as he disconnected the tap water from running and went out.
When he came back, he saw that the water had been connected back, and he became very angry and asked the students who did it, but got no reply, as they all told him they can’t stay in the hostel without water running.
Due to this, an argument later ensued between them and the caretaker took a sharp object and hit one of the students (Anthony Chinweotito) that was near him in the head, and he fell down immediately, as he picked another stick and hit the student several times till he became unconscious.
The caretaker however fled, after seeing the gravity of what he has done and the boy was rushed to Federal Medical Center in Owerri, where he was admitted for 5 days, before he gave up the ghost on Saturday night.
