A part three student of the Department of Accounting at the Obafemi Awolowo University, one Abiodun Babalola, has reportedly been killed by some men who attacked his residence on Ede Road, Ile Ife, Osun State.
Babalola, it was learnt, died as a result of injuries he sustained during the attack on the ‘Adam and Eve,’ an out of campus students’ hostel.
The authorities of the OAU condoled with the parents and family members of the deceased.
A statement by the Public Relations Officer of the university, Abiodun Olarewaju, read in part,
“The students were attacked in the wee hours of Saturday with weapons by some unidentified persons, who inflicted varying degrees of injury on them before carting away their money, phones and other valuables.”
The statement also quoted the Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Eyitope Ogunbodede, as saying that “people should place the fear of God far and above worldly materials,” wondering what would make a man to attack, maim and kill his fellow man.
