From MOLLY KILETE, Abuja
The Force Headquarters in Abuja on Monday said it has arrested 21 persons involved in the brutal killing of four students of the University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The students were killed at Umokiri Aluu in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The police also announced its readiness to bring all those involved in the brutal act to book no matter how highly placed the persons may be in the society.
Among those in the police custody is the traditional ruler of the community, Alhaji Hassan Welewa, who reportedly incited the mob to unleash terror on the deceased students.
Also in the custody of the police are four indicted persons said to have been closely linked to the barbaric act.
They are Felemo Solomon, Cynthia Chinwo, Ozioma Abajuo and Chigizie Samuel Evans.
Details in the Daily Sun on Tuesday.
please my dear good people of Nigeria, it is good to hear that you have done something to move people of Nigeria forward than hearing that you are killing, it is so bad of you okay?
Also the sister of one of the boys who were kill said that police people came there and ask them to kill them.. so those police people should also be arrested…take note of this or go back to the interview and find out..
those that killed the guys should be killed in the same manner. i saw the pictures. so bad.
Let’s make them feel a taste of the kind of justice they meted out to those guys.
Each of them should be treated same way.
All those that killed the undrgraduate uniport students are not qualified to be in a civilised community of ours.. They are Brutes and should be treated as such..
The chief of that community so called Alhaji Hassan Welewa is a shame to other traditional rullers if he actually incited the mob for brutal and barbaric act that terminated the life of the 4 students at their prime. He should be made to pay supreme price as he could not prevail on his subject to hand over those students to the police rather instigated them to murder them. His family shall know no peace and sword will not depart from his house, useless idiot called chief. Shame to you.
Those people are terrible
Let same action take place with the arrested Boko Haram.These two are of same equation.
They are animal.
The killers should be given a death sentence in order 2 reduce the rate of people taken laws in their hands in the name of jungle justice
The police should do less talk and more action because we are tired of hearing the cuprit will be brought to book all we want is justice nothing more
I can’t wait to hear and watch the video of how dis men and woman, of the 19th century but unfortunately live in the 21st will be brutally hanged. Pls keep us posted.

Sometimes its the case of ill-luck, how sure are u the arrested peeps are actually guilty, make una no go arrest innocent ones ooo while the pepetrators go free
Please do not give the verdict before the judgement or even investigation. Nigeria never has any problem with arresting people.Let’s defer our evaluation

Pls police try your best so that our broken heart we be glad when we sees their ponishment even the same way they did it to their innocent country brother heartlessly. Pls show no mercy!
including the officers that were on duty that very day
Nigerian Police ? Hmmm, na today ? Abeg leave mata 4 mathias.
Justice must prevail. An eye for an eye.
Wht wil i said,whn we av lost d leaders of 2moro cos of doz daught,plz mr IG don’t fail us in dis job plz.
The police is good in telling us they have made arrest just to calm us down.
With what ever cup you used to measure for someone must surely be used for him. Therefore, the killers should be tested the soup they cooked.
the arrest should start with those police men on duty that went there and did nothing. then the vigilante and others that was involved in the brutal killing of this nation young stars.
These men nd women dat killed those boys re so heartless and should be subjected 2 a more painful death than those four boys.May their souls rest in peace. AMEN.
Good work by the law enforcement… This is a good one
those police men that instigated the mob to burn the innocent students should be arrested. I believed that the students would have been alive if those police men knows the ethics of their profession. I.G justices most be done!
I can’t believe that there is a place in Nigeria called aluu that its indigenes will accuse four students of stealing another person’s property without evidence to prove and then beat the accused students to death.seriously,what kind heart do these people have? Am happy they are caught cos they cant go free for what they did. Ediongsenie E Etukudo.Caleb university, imota,lagos.
I propose proactive approach should be deployed in crime control in Nigeria. This killing of UNIPORT (4) was just to confirm that their (suspect) cup has overflew. It was obvious that there have been so many accounts of urgly incidents that had been happening in same Aluu community in recent past, like frequent complain of missing persons, high rate of murder n other crime related activities. The community should have been seriously cautioned before now, and at same time well policed. why must NPF n other security agents wait till something devastating of this nature happens. its very expensive. Papetrators of this devilish act, if not that they were caught up by karmi, perhaps, could find themselves in one political office tomorrow. imagine the kind of chief they have. fair desert should be the best bt problem is valuation. worthless set of pple. Its high time our police work, be content, n stop enslaving the Law of Fed. Rep of Nig
Thank GOD!!! Please show Nigerians and more importantly the international commuinity that justice will be done. Thanking the IG for his swift action in this matter.
They should be killed in d way. Evil community. They need prayers.
they are inhuman, i mean those killers deserved to be wasted
I want to tell those who murdered the children of
another man that ” No evil done to man by a fellow man will go unpunished”
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT PLEASE!!!!!!!
why have they refused to mention the set of poplice dat also odered the kiling
Its a gud tin 2 c Nigerians clamoring 4 justice but how do we know dat d 21 people d Inspector General of Police said hv been arrested r not innocent people they just picked off d streets, so dat people wil say dey r working? I say dis 4rm my personal experience some time ago…I was infront of my friend’s house one nite, just about 2 go home, when d police grabd me & oda people & shoved us into their vehicle…i slept in d cell dat nyt, d next morning, on our way out afta bailin myself & a friend i made in d cell who didn’t hv cash on him, i looked at their board & guess wat i saw boldly written there …8 ARMED ROBBERS ARRESTED! D exact numba of people they bundled into d vehicle d nite before just to make money… My point? Before we crucify dem, we have to make sure dey r actually guilty of d crime they r being charged with! Odawise, we wud equaly b guilty of taking innocent lives!
PLEASE KILL THEM ALL!!!!
This is good, I wish them a worse manner of death.
Sentence them to death by burning or else there will be war.
I cannot be quite sure, but then what is in a name. But please, did the reporter get the name of the traditional ruler yes, traditional rulerruler in Igboland, correct? I mean the Alhaji Hasan fellow….?
All the Police officers who were present before the killing should be tried for murder. Infact they ordered the murder of the innocent students.
The trdiional ruler is a blood thirsty carnibal together with his acomplices bcs, to say the least, he is a BOKO HARAM member secretly planted amongst the Igbos, the police shud look beyond d killing of dos students n unravel his previous Bokoharamic activities, he could be an agent, you know?
Wot a man do on this earth must been with him and his children,oga IG send them to prison strength.
Am impresed about this progress. Pls, IG these persons must face the full wrat of law and i believe that there are still more persons to fetch out
Lack of trust in the Nigeria police is mostly why people take laws into their hand. But where was the police during that ugly and barberic incident? That is why i have always advocated state police. Let justice be done to the pepetrators of that heinous crime.
human being ar nw living like carnivores no conscience no human sympathy no justice,dis is d work of ideal mind,nd d ritualist wey ful 9jadelta
The Aluu killing is barbaric. Fine, the police has come out with names…what we need is to bring the culprits to have a full dose of what they did. How pleasant would it be if they are also put to death? Please, i am using this medium to request for the latest development on the Abia State University gang rape of a female student by five wicked souls in 2011. Do the guys escape justice? If they do, them shame to all Human Right Activist and The mass media.
Justices should be done dat’s all l!!!
The bible said that those who kill by weapon shall also likewise be killed by weapon so i advocate that dose pple apprehended should be tortured and killed in same manner.
Those involved on this brutal killings of this 4 innocent student of our great leaders of tomorrow will face d law n also be ROASTED coz they deserved no Mercy
That ruler should be sent to HELL!!!!!!!!!!
Before now, no tradiditional ruler will allow such a thing to happen within his domain, but you see…? The law must be allowed to take its corseca effect on them. KUDOS to the Police for the arrest made sofar.
two wrongs will never make a right, clamoring for the same level of brutality to be meted out on them won’t solve the issue. Until we ask the right questions we will never get to the root of any issue in other words we should aim to stamp out this barbaric event from ever being perpetuated in our surroundings by standing out to guarantee fair trial to every tom dick and harry alleged with an accusation. After all these savages who murdered these men didn’t bother to ask themselves “if neither has not sinned let him cast the first stone “.
Make sure that what you do to the pauper goes to the rich person b/c this kind of case they wl go apprehend those people that has no body that interced for them and leave those people that caused the death of those student pls lets treat with justice and honesty.
i cannot that, the of poeple of this generation can behave like that, that is jungle ways of life, the laws forbids it. anyway cast had being done,let them face the law……
It was just too unbearable,even if those guys were aprehended with guns in their hands and probably killed some body.it is still not enough to had kill them like that.for me I think those who are found on dis act should be jailed for life or sentence to death by hanging
Is the Traditional ruler an Hausa man, precisely a muslem? what is he doing in rivers state?
I hope this will not be d end we ‘ll hear about this case,n I wish justice shall be done without any delay.bible says he that killed with sword shall die by sword.
Its unfortunate that in a country like nigeria some obnoxious practices are still going on in this 21 century A̶̲̥̅̊₪d̶̲̥̅̊. Jungle justice is still prevailing. Τ̣̣ђё police officers that were on duty that day should all be arrested bcos according Τ̲̅ȍ τ̣̣ђё sister ☀̤̣̈̇f one ☀̤̣̈̇f τ̣̣ђё victim some officers came there A̶̲̥̅̊₪d̶̲̥̅̊ instead ☀̤̣̈̇f taking τ̣̣ђё boys away, they rather agreed with τ̣̣ђё barbaric act… A̶̲̥̅̊₪d̶̲̥̅̊ am sure they are from τ̣̣ђё community… It is high time we start Τ̲̅ȍ make ppl really pay for crimes committed all else this same incident will re- occur again
Dose pple must not go unpunish,but wait oh,is d traditional ruler hausa or muslim bcos i didnt undastand dis(name).
Please,what about the policemen on duty.
All we need in this case is an undiluted justice.the broblem is are we going to have it? 9ja a de haylooo!
Anans,Goddy and religious gigotry people like you,haven’t you see or here about Igbos that are muslims before,people like you think Islam is for only Yorubas and Hausas,you better open your eyes! Though the story in question is so pathetic and anybody concernedshould be brought to book please.Enough of all these bloodshed please Mr President!
He who killed by the sword should die by the sword.
THIS IS THE SAME BARBARIC ATTITUDE SHOWN THE IGBOS DURING THE CIVIL WAR, THEY SHOULD ALL BE MADE TO PAY THE SUPREME PRICE
Obviously, this is a case of unlawful murder (homicide, genocide as the case may be). Those involved in this grave crime should expeditely convicted and executed. For the sake of transparency and assurance of justice, the execution process should widely broadcasted in the national media. I hope Nigeria can be this transparent and civilized. This is an opportunity for the leaders to assure Nigerians of their commitment to providing the citizens’ security; and not by political speeches. It’s by action. Anyway, I just hope you are going to read this, the man in-charge.
HANG HANG HANG
The so called traditional ruler must have imposed himself over the community by deceit. He is actually following the Boko Haram script, in other words, he is a mole in the community. He however found willing hands in the thugs that did the actual killing because of poverty in the land. I suspect that the local police officers that were in the scene were surrogates of the same traditional ruler. The report has it that these police officers actually incited the lynch-men to set the unfortunate boys on fire. There is an attempt here to bury the truth. We still have the opportunity to dig the truth, nothing but the whole truth in this matter. There are video clips and there are accompanying voice recordings as well. Experts can easily analyse the voices in the crowd to pinpoint individuals. This is a serious matter and needs the best team of investigators to unravel the whole truth. If we can get this right, it will be the beginning of a better Nigeria. President GEJ to note this happened in his backyard.
We are all aware that the IG just want to lure the public into hailing them but God forbid! We all know that the NPF is a toothless bull-dog! Just hang those animals to dead and we will clap for you!
I hope the Nigerian Police will do a good job so as to discourage other communities that are doing the same to be careful. We cannot forget that of Mubi and Oko Polys story sometimes ago. WHY STUDENTS?. Police please bring them to book and let us hear the good news of convicting those heartless men and women. Nothing short of this.
Let dem face capital judgment. Let dia evil slay dem
i think police has a hand in this killings and should be also be checked
Burn them alive, they don’t deserved 2live.
Why should they be prosecuted once they are founld culpable. Let jungle justice be given to them. They should be taken to the same spot where those innocent kids were lynched and be lynched too afterall the traditional ruler is a moslim and he executed sharia law on them, it wont be strange to him if he is summarily judged and executed. Period
Please, i sugest the way they killed those guys should be they should be treated too. Please cut their part of body one after another. After that, they should be set ablaze ti ashes
BLOOD FOR BLOOD, LIFE FOR LIFE AND DEATH FOR DEATH. NO MERCY IN THIS CASE IT WAS A DELIBERATE BARBARIC ACT. THE CULPRITS SHOULD BE HANGED WHILE BURNING
So sad.those arrested shud face d full wrath of the law
Am even ashamed at the River State and Aluu community precise for even allowing an Housa man called Alhaji Hasan in the killing wen they knew that he has killing and boko haram killing tendency and also the two Police men that join in the killing especially one of the Police man that gave order to handle the boys should be arrested immediatry and even court marshall so as to serve as a warning to some dubious Police men out there
Igp,tank u 4 ur good work on dis event, bt pls to make d work more appreciative we wnt to watch d death of dis ppu 2 mayb on tv or internet,bt 4 d chief he should b removed 4rm his his throne. Thk u
He who kills with the Sword should also be killed by same Sword….. Those behind the killing of those four students should be brought to judgement, i see no reason why people keep sheding innocent blood, these youth might be innocent any way, i believe nobody is above the law, including Pres. Goodluck Jonathan. A person is not guity of any crime or accusation until found guity by the law court….. Even at d@, no matter what anybody does, who are u to judge or kill such a person(s)?
DEY SHOW KILL ALL D SUSPECT SLOWLY AND PAINFULLY……WICKED IDIOTS…INHUMAN PEOPLE..
i watch the video and i feel and cry for those boys….all those that had be arrest should be kill the same way they did to those boys?
