"To say they are not involved in the killing of my son is a big lie; it is a white lie and a cover-up for their wicked and unacceptable act. The incident did not take place in one of the community’s bush."
Father of one of the students murdered by a mob at Aluu, River State, Mr. Mike Toku, has described as a deliberate cover-up the continued denial by members of the community that they had no hand in the killing of his son, Lloyd.
Mr Toku insisted that his son and three other students of the University of Port Harcourt were tortured and killed by members of Omuokiri Aluu community in Ikwerre Local Government Area.
Speaking on development on Sunday, Mr Toku said it was unfortunate that the community that murdered his son could deny being involved in the act.
He explained that the incident took place in the presence of members of the public and wondered why any Aluu indigene would want to deny the obvious.
He said, “They killed my son in a place that looked like a village square belonging to the community. While the killers were hitting my son and three other students, others stood and watched the incident.”
Mr Toku, who insisted that his son was innocent of any crime he was accused of before being murdered, urged the police to arrest both the killers of his son and those watching while the crime against the students was being committed.
