UNIVERSITY MANAGEMENT RESPONDS TO STUDENT’S ARREST
The attention of the Management of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, has been drawn to the arrest of Ayomide Adeleye, a 200-Level student of the Department of Philosophy in the University, over alleged murder.
The news of the student’s arrest by law enforcement agents was quite shocking and disturbing, especially given the circumstances surrounding his reported connection to the crime.
As an institution that has a zero-tolerance policy towards violence and criminal behaviour, the University is deeply concerned about this serious allegation and, therefore, condemns it in all its entirety.
The University is noted for its serenity, peaceful atmosphere, cult-free activities and academic excellence among its students.
As a result of the sensitivity of this tragic situation, the University Management will not make further comments on the ongoing investigation as it is a matter for the police and the courts of justice. Everyone is enjoined to respect the ongoing investigation and allow the justice system to run its course.
Meanwhile, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ayodeji Agboola wishes to extend the university’s heartfelt condolences to the victim’s bereaved family and pray God to grant them the fortitude to bear the heavy loss. He also extends his condolences to the entire University community, especially, the students’ populace of Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB).
