The University of Port Harcourt has debunked reports that a final year student of the institution was stabbed to death on Tuesday after his final examinations.

A press statement released by the Public Relations Officer of the institution, Mr. Sam Kpenu, said that no event of the sort happened in the university.

The statement reads, “The attention of the authorities of the University of Port Harcourt has been drawn to a report that a final year student of the university was stabbed to death by suspected cultists after his final examination at the Faculty of Science.

“The Management of the university wishes to state in clear terms that no such event had happened in the university. The report is a figment of the imagination of the writer. To put the record straight, no cult attack was witnessed in the university during the period of the examinations. In fact, students are going about celebrating their final papers unmolested by any intruder.
