{{The Nigerian Police has arrested not fewer than 70 persons in connection with the death of musician Damilola Damoche, a 400 level student of the Lagos State University, LASU, who was murdered in cold blood last Thursday by suspected cultists.}}<\/p>\n
Vanguard gathered that the arrest was made by a combined team of the Area E police command who paraded the streets of Ojo, Iba, PPL, Igbo-Elerin, Igando, Okokomaiko, Iyana-Isashi and Onireke communities to fish out those involved in the clash.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old, who was a final year Banking and Finance student was brutally killed few metres away to the gate of the institution after writing a test.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, some pictures of corpse suspected to be students of the Lagos State University went viral on the Internet on Saturday, heightening tension in the school and its environs.<\/p>\n
Consequently, students of the institution have expressed fear that some cult members might want to avenge Damoche\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
Speaking with the Student Union President, Ibrahim Tunji, who denied the death of more students, stated that the campus is calm. <\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI have not received news of the death of any student. I left the school on Friday and I came back on Saturday. So I wouldn\u2019t know if anything had happened. You know anyone can fabricate any story but I don\u2019t think there is need for panic\u201d.<\/p>\n
The police, as at the time of filing this report, have transferred the arrested suspects to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad for further investigations.<\/p>\n
