Also speaking, the Public Relations Officer of the University, Abiodun Olanrewaju, said the Police should be allowed to investigate the matter, adding that the management of the institution would also carry out its own findings.

Olanrewaju said, “the university will not meddle into such a griveous offence. It bothers on criminality of murder.

“So let the police do their job and we will do our own here. We are going ahead with our own investigation.”

Meanwhile, students in the Faculty of Technology, on Wednesday, protested the killing of one of them and blocked roads leading to the institution.

The protesters demanded the arrest of all those involved in the dastardly act and specifically mentioned arrest of student security volunteers, who allegedly took custody of Ahize after he had been assaulted in Awo Hall of Residence.
