The Police in Imo State on Thursday said they have arrested three suspects in connection with the ongoing cult clash at Imo State University, Owerri, which has claimed no fewer than two lives so far.
Cultists on Wednesday evening killed no fewer than two undergraduates, while other victims were taken to the hospital by the Police.

The Police spokesperson added that a locally made pistol was recovered from the suspects.
Ikeokwu said that the suspects would be prosecuted at the end investigation.
He said, “We arrested three suspects in connection with the Wednesday murder at IMSU.
“A locally made pistol was recovered from the suspects.
“We will prosecute them at the end our investigation.”
