A part four Psychology student of the Ondo
State owned Adekunle Ajasin University,
Akungba-Akoko, Olumuyiwa Ewarawon, has been
allegedly murdered by a suspected para-military
organization operating in the University.
While the University authorities responded by
proscribing all para-military organizations in the
institution, it was reported late yesterday that
two of the suspects had been arrested.
The deceased according to report was the only
son of his aged mother.
It was gathered that the deceased, who lived in
a private hostel outside the school campus, was
reportedly attacked by suspected cadet officers.
However, the family of the deceased is insisting
that the culprits who allegedly killed their son
should be made to face the wrath of the law.
The family in a petition to the Ondo State
Commissioner of Police, Mike Ogbodu, filed by
the counsel to the deceased’s father, Chief
Goodluck Ibitoye Ewarawon, alleged that
Olumuyiwa was attacked in his room at
Shanghai Hostel in Akungba by the armed gang
of seven boys under the guise of being student
cadet officers.
The counsel to the family, Olufemi Meduoye,
said: ''The armed assailants broke into
Olumuyiwa's room while he was asleep and
attacked him, thereafter, brutalized, bruised and
inflicted on him fatal injuries from which he fell
into coma.
''The gang dumped Olumuyiwa's body at the
General Hospital, Iwarooka Akoko, before good
samaritans brought the incident to the attention
of the family three days later.''
They said they took the comatose body of
Olumuyiwa from the hospital to Trauma Centre
Ondo which instantly referred the case to
Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital,
Ile-Ife.
The family said the boy never came out of coma
and died later in the hospital. They urged the
Commissioner of Police to use his good office
to ensure a full investigation of the murder of
Olumuyiwa by the suspected Cadet Officers.
Also, they asked the authorities of the institution
to look at the activities of some armed gang
who operated under the guise of para-military to
attack members of the public.
The family also asked the security forces and
the state government to be alert to the activities
of such organizations with a view to protecting
the lives of innocent citizens.
The Police Image Maker, Femi Joseph, who
confirmed the incident said that the suspect is
on the run and that detectives are on his trail.
He, however, assured that the suspect would
soon be apprehended and made to face the law
court.
