1 shot dead as tension brews between Delta town, PRESCO

There is growing apprehension between PRESCO Plc in Edo State, which specialises in the cultivation of oil palm trees, extraction, refining and fractioning of crude oil into finished products and neighbouring Ovre-Eku community, Ethiope East Local Government Area, Delta State, over the killing of a 15-year-old student, Master Cyril Obruche, purportedly by security agents attached to the company.

The Nigerian Army denied the accusation that soldiers killed Obruche, a Senior Secondary School, SSS student of Baptist Medical Centre Staff Secondary School, Eku, while PRESCO said the matter was under investigation by the authorities.
