As UNIPORT Re-opens, Rivers State Police Disclose Arrests Of More Suspects

Students of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) and the general public have been urged by the police in Rivers State not to construe the reopening of the university as an end to the trial of suspects in the murder of four students now referred to as ‘Aluu four’.

Rivers Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Ben Ugwuegbulam, in a statement, yesterday, noted that the clarification had become necessary following public apprehension as management last Thursday, declared Uniport reopened after over four weeks of closure following violent protests by students of the university over the murder of their schoolmates in Aluu community.

The PPRO maintained that the trial of the suspects was very much alive and more arrests had been made in connection to the murders.

The students were cautioned to go about their normal activities peacefully, assuring that security around the institution and its host communities had been beefed up to keep the peace and forestall breakdown of law and order.
