A clash between some groups in Bayelsa state has resulted in the death of a 24-year-old final-year student identified as Diete Rufus.

Rufus is a final year Business Administration student of the Delta Polytechnic, Ozoro.

According to reports, three other persons also sustained life-threatening injuries in the incident which occurred at the weekend in Okpotuwari and Ondewari communities, Southern Ijaw Local Government area.

The incident was said to have caused panic and forced the residents to flee into the creeks for refuge.

Rufus was first rushed to Korokorosei hospital where he was referred to the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa, but later died on the way to the Federal Government health facility.

Reports say the clash may be connected with the disagreement over the control of security of oil wells in the area, which had generated bitterness among the youths in recent times.
