As anger and condemnation continue to trail the brutal and barbaric murder of four undergraduate students of the University of Porthacourt, Elkannah Tekena, one of the victims has already been laid to rest in a forest.

His family who are still yet to come to terms of his demise, under the condition of anonymity, revealed that Elkannah was buried two days ago after extensive stitches to his burnt and severely battered body.
“Yes, he’s been buried.” The family member confirmed, “We recovered his body and we stitched it the best we could… It’s shocking the amount of brutality he and those boys endured. His body was beaten beyond repair, but yes, we’ve buried him.”
When asked about details of the burial, the source within the family continued, “We’re from Kalio Ama in Okirika Local Government Area, and in our custom, if you have endured the brutality, injuries and violence Elkannah endured, your body cannot be buried in town. So our 19-yr old boy was taken across and deep into the forest to be buried.”
