UNIOSUN Student Stabs Fellow Student To Death
A 400-level student of the Department of Physics Electronics, Adekunle Yusuf, aka Stone, has allegedly stabbed another student of the institution, Kazeem Ige, to death in the Oke Baale area of Osogbo.
Our correspondent gathered that the
deceased, a 24-year-old student of Civil Engineering Department, and his
assailant, who is on the run, were friends until about a week ago when
they fell apart.
Some students told our correspondent on
Tuesday that the students engaged each other on the street on Monday
immediately they met and Stone brought out a dagger and stabbed Ige.
The deceased was first taken to a clinic
at Oke Baale, but he was reportedly rejected by the medical personnel
and was taken to Our Lady of St. Fatima Hospital in the Jaleyemi area of
Osogbo, where he was confirmed dead on arrival.
A student of the school, Seyi
Bamigbayan, who reported the case at the OJa Oba Police Station, told
our correspondent on the telephone that the two students were friends
before they parted ways.
Bamigbayan said, “The two students were
friends, but I think they had an issue last week and one of them was
said to have hit the other with a hammer.
“But I heard that they started fighting again when they saw each other yesterday ( Monday) and Stone brought out a knife and stabbed Ige in the armpit.
“Ige fell and there was blood
everywhere. We rushed him to a clinic at Oke Balale before we took him
to Jaleyemi Hospital, where they told us he was dead.”
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mrs. Folashade Odoro, confirmed the killing.
She said the Commissioner of Police in
the state, Mr. Fimihan Adeoye, had directed that security should be
beefed up in the area to prevent any form of reprisal.
“The CP has ordered a thorough investigation into the case and said that the suspect must be apprehended,” she added.
