Meanwhile, some pictures of corpse suspected to be students of the LagosStateUniversity went viral on the Internet on Saturday, heightening tension in the school and its environs.
Consequently, students of the institution have expressed fear that some cult members might want to avenge damoche’s death.
Speaking with  the Student Union President, Ibrahim Tunji, who denied the death of more students, stated that the campus is calm. he said: “I have not received news of the death of any student. I left the school on Friday and I came back on Saturday. So I wouldn’t know if anything had happened. You know anyone can fabricate any story but I don’t think there is need for panic”.
The police as at the time of filing this report, have transferred the arrested suspects to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad for further investigations.
