Most rival Cult members in tertiary institutions engage each other in deadly battle, all in the name "Supremacy."
A young man suspected to be a student of the College of Education, Ekiadolor, in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State was, on Monday, beheaded in a renewed cult war in the college town.
The identity of the young man, whose head was neatly chopped off from his body, is yet to be ascertained.
The sight of the victim's severed head which was taken to the Central Hospital, Benin City, by the police in a police van, on Tuesday, sent shock waves down the spines of onlookers.
Nigerian Tribune learnt that the head was left at a bus stop near the gate of the institution apparently as a warning to rival cult groups.
There were gunshot wounds and cutlass cuts on the severed head while grasses were stuffed into its mouth.
The whereabouts of the body was unknown as of Tuesday, just as the police were said to have arrested several persons in connection with the killing.
Reports had it that gunshots were heard on Monday night at Ekiadolor only for a fresh human head to be found in front of the school gate the following day.
The provost of the institution, Professor Amen Uhunmwagho, said it had not been ascertained whether the slain man was a student of the institution.
Uhunmwangho said he would wait for the police to conclude their investigations to ascertain the identity of the victim.
