The Imo State Police Command arrested three students in connection with the alleged murder of Chinedu Christogonu, a 21-year-old 100-level student studying Cyber Security at the Federal University of Technology, Owerri. The incident occurred on Saturday when Christogonu was reportedly beaten to death by members of the university's Man O' War organization after being accused of stealing N13,500.

Following the incident, unrest erupted on campus, leading to property destruction. Police Public Relations Officer Henri Okoy stated that preliminary investigations revealed Christogonu was restrained and subjected to severe assault, resulting in critical injuries.

He was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre, Owerri, where he was confirmed dead. The suspects, identified as Chukwuemeka Benedict (21), Kelechi Ikenna (24), and Obioma Anastasia (21), were arrested based on evidence gathered.

The Commissioner of Police, Audu Bosso, directed swift action to ensure a thorough investigation and emphasized that no individual would be shielded from justice.
