A 300-level Linguistics student at Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, AAUA, identified as Emmanuel, was fatally by unknown attackers in one of the town’s private student hostels.
On Monday, Comrade Oladele Emmanuel, Vice Chairman of the National Association of University Students, urged security agents and university administration to investigate the incident and bring the perpetrators to justice.
Emmanuel claimed that the motive for the killing has yet to be determined.
He said “The university community must be reassured that such a tragic event will be met with the full force of the law and diligent investigative efforts.
“The death of Emmanuel is not just a loss to his family and friends, but to the entire AAUA community.
“His potential and contributions to our shared academic environment are irreplaceable.
“We mourn his untimely departure and extend our deepest condolences to his loved ones during this difficult time.”
Emmanuel asked the school management to improve security measures on campus and in surrounding areas by increasing security patrols, improving lighting, and making emergency services more accessible.
He urged students and members of the AAUA community to provide any information that could aid in the investigation to the appropriate authorities.
“We trust that the authorities will act with urgency and transparency in addressing this incident. Emmanuel’s memory deserves nothing less than our commitment to uncovering the truth and ensuring justice is served.
“Let us unite in our grief and our resolve to create a safer, more secure environment for all members of the AAUA community. We owe it to Emmanuel, his family, and to ourselves,” the student union leader added.
