A final-year student has tragically passed away after being shot by alleged cultists outside his school campus.
The incident was shared on a popular social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), by Maaloo Dgreat, who posted about the heartbreaking event on his official Facebook page.
In his post, he wrote: “I am heartbroken to hear about your death. The cultists who shot you will never know peace. This is not just a great loss to NIDSUG but to Rivers State. Rest on, Precious A. Briggs.”
Maaloo Dgreat continued, recounting the events leading up to the tragedy: “He was shot last night by cultists outside the school campus in Amassoma. I was reliably told that he had a quarrel and a fight with a cult group and was shot as he turned to go home.”
“He was then rushed to the hospital by friends, but the nearby hospital refused to attend to him. It is so sad and heartbreaking. This is the person who signed out two days ago and was awaiting his final project defense in just three days. It is so sad.”
As the post gained traction online, concerned individuals flooded the comment section to express their thoughts and condolences.
