Four students of the Rivers State University, Nkpolu-Oroworukwo, Port Harcourt have been suspended by the institution for their involvement in the brutalisation of their colleague identified as Victor Tobins.
According to the institution, the four students, who are also officials of the Man ‘O’ War, have been suspended for one academic session.
The suspended students were reported to have beaten Tobins and inflicted injuries on his right eye and other parts of his body over a yet-to-be-ascertained issue.
