A vigilante operative has shot dead a final year student of Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-Uku.
The ugly incident occurred at about 9:00am on Tuesday, our correspondent gathered.
According to report, the deceased, who was a student of the Department of Laboratory Science Technology (ND), was in his apartment reading for an examination he had to write by 1:00pm the same day when the incident occurred.
It was gathered that the vigilante personal, who was in his own apartment, opposite the room of the deceased, shot and killed the student instantly.
