A sad incident has happened at the University of Benin. A student whose name has not yet been released was shot dead right in front of the school’s main gate. A video of the scene is now trending online, and many people are shocked by what they see.

He was driving inside his ash-coloured Mercedes Benz GLK when the shooting took place. The car had just left or was approaching the gate area, and before anyone could fully understand what was going on, the student had already lost his life...READ FULL STORY; FROM THE SOURCE.
The video circulating online shows the car with bullet holes on it. Concerned spectators had gathered around the vehicle to see what happened and to offer their sympathies. From the video, you can tell that people around were confused and scared at the same time.
Toktok9ja gathered that no one really knows what led to the shooting. What makes this case even more puzzling is that the student was not robbed. All his belongings were still inside the car with him. Nothing was taken. This has led many to suspect that it was not a random attack.
Some social media users are saying it might be cult related. Their thinking is that a rival group might have planned the attack and carried it out. But honestly, that has not been confirmed by anyone in authority. The school has not released an official statement yet, and the police have also not said much for now.
One witness in the comment section wrote, “How can someone just be killed in front of the school gate and nobody is talking? This is too much.”
Another person said, “If it was robbery, they would have taken the car or his phone. Nothing was touched. This was personal.”
As it stands, this is a developing story. More details are expected to come out in the next few hours or days. Toktok9ja Media will keep following the case and bring updates as soon as new information is available.
For now, students of UNIBEN are said to be uneasy. Many are worried that if someone can be killed so close to the school gate without any clear reason, then no one is really safe.
We will update you as we get more information.
