Police operatives in Rivers have arrested three students of the University of Port Harcourt over alleged link to a cult clash in the state.

Several people suffered machete cuts during a violent clash between two factions of Vikings cult group on Thursday.

The President of the Students Union Government in the university, Martins Azirindu, confirmed the incident in a statement on Friday.

He called for increased security patrols in the institution.

He said: “A particular cult group known as the Vikings Confraternity has two factions. And a particular faction came against the other faction.

“But while they were still facing each other the school security, policemen, and the Vice Chancellor came around. So most of them fled and about three were apprehended.

“I guess that those guys may have passed behind the fence to bring in guns that were used. I will advise the school security to go on routine checks and patrol to put some of these things in check. ”
