The students of Federal University Oye Ekiti (FUOYE) are calling for justice in the tragic death of their fellow student, Modupe Atanda, who was enrolled in the Nursing Department at the time of her passing.
The students, under the aegis of the Students’ Union Government, called on the security agencies to get to the root of the matter and bring the perpetrators of the dastardly act to book.
The police in the state had on Thursday disclosed that the student, who was earlier declared missing, was found dead and buried in a shallow grave near the university’s Nursing Lecture Theatre.
FUOYE SUG President, Emmanuel Ajayi, and the Public Relations Officer, Elizabeth Akuraku, who mourned the slain student, said:
“The cause of death and manner in which she died is a thing of great pain to the entire student populace in FUOYE”.
The student leaders, in a statement on their social media handle, described their late colleague as “a precious and bright student”.
They said, “We demand justice. While we mourn her sudden loss and pay our last respects to the dead, we hereby charge security operatives in Ekiti State to investigate and bring the perpetrators of this grave crime to book”.
