Tension has gripped the Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) community following the fatal shooting of a National Diploma student in an alleged cult-related confrontation.
According to reports, the tragic incident stems from an alleged dispute over a female student. The victim, an ND1 student in the Department of Arts, was reportedly targeted after making romantic advances toward an ND2 student said to be romantically involved with a senior campus cult figure.
Witnesses claim the primary suspect, enraged by the advances, cornered the student and shot him multiple times in the chest. A viral video circulating on social media captured security operatives recovering a firearm hidden within a flower bed during subsequent arrests at the scene.
