The Rivers State Police Command has arrested three students of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) in connection with a cult clash on campus.

The clash, which occurred on Thursday, was between two factions of the Vikings cult group and resulted in one student being injured with machete cuts.

The Students Union Government (SUG) president, Martins Azirindu, confirmed the incident and called for increased security measures.

Azirindu stated, “A particular cult group known as the Vikings Confraternity has two factions. And a particular faction came against the other faction.

“But while they were still facing each other the school security, policemen and the Vice Chancellor came around. So most of them fled and about three were apprehended.”

He buttress by saying,  “I guess that those guys may have passed behind the fence to bring in guns that were used. I will advise the school security to go on routine checks and patrol to put some of these things in check. ”

The university management has also issued a statement denying reports of any fatalities and emphasizing their zero-tolerance policy towards cultism.

The arrested students are currently facing interrogation at the Nigeria Police Force headquarters in Port Harcourt.

The management of the institution stated,” Contrary to some inaccurate media claims, no student was killed nor injured in the incident of a fight between some students as the prompt intervention of the Management, security unit, and the anti-cultism unit of the Nigeria Police led to the swift apprehension of these individuals, ensuring that no disruption occurred.

“The students are currently facing interrogations at the headquarters of the Nigeria Police Force in Port Harcourt. The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Owunari Georgewill, was on the scene immediately, managing the resolution of the matter and taking necessary actions to restore normalcy.

“For the avoidance of doubt, nobody died in that incident, which has been blown out of proportion by some online blogs.

“The University of Port Harcourt remains committed to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and safeguarding our students.

“We reiterate our zero-tolerance policy towards cultism, bullying, and any form of disruptive social behavior on our campus.
