Another Ondo Varsity’s Female Student Killed By Boyfriend

Less than three weeks after the gruesome murder of two undergraduates of the Ondo State-owned Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA), another student of the institution has reportedly been killed by her boyfriend.
The deceased, Joy Adeyemi, a student of the Department of Human Kinetics, was reported missing earlier in the week, but her body was later discovered locked inside her boyfriend’s room after neighbours noticed a foul odour emanating from the apartment.
According to reports, Adeyemi was stabbed to death on Tuesday by her boyfriend, who is said to be an indigene of the university community.
It was gathered that the suspect fled the community immediately after the incident, and his whereabouts remained unknown at the time of filing this report.

According to a source, who explained that “the alleged killer is said to be an indigene of the town. The deceased was killed by her boyfriend on Tuesday and locked her inside his room.
“It was neighbours that raised the alarm to call attention of the students when they perceived bad odour from the room.
“We are yet to know the reason the guy killed that lady. The lady operates POS in that area, but since Tuesday, she had disappeared and nobody knew her whereabouts until yesterday, when the neighbours were perceiving a bad smell, from her room.
“The boy, after killing her, went away with the money she used for her POS business.
“It is high time the state government did something about the killings of our students by the indigenes of this town. If nothing is done, this may lead to a serious crisis in this community.

“You remember that some weeks ago, two of our students were also kidnapped and killed. So something has to be done.”
The killing of Joy sparked outrage and protests among AAUA students and members of the local community, with students taking to the streets in the university town, protesting the killing of the girl.
The students, who were armed with placards and chanting slogans like “Stop killing us, AAUA students,” demanded intervention from state authorities and security agencies, highlighting concern over repeated student fatalities linked to local residents.
Speaking on the latest killing in the university community, the National Association of Nigerian Students Joint Campus Committee condemned the dastardly act and called on security agencies to bring the perpetrator to book.

The students, in a statement by the Chairman and Secretary of the committee, Comrade Adekanye Adeboye and Oladele Emmanuel respectively, described the killings in the university as appalling.
The statement reads: “The National Association of Nigerian Students, Joint Campus Council, Ondo Axis is appalled and deeply saddened by the recent wave of killings targeting students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Ondo State.
“While the student community is still grappling with the tragic loss of two students who were brutally killed in the university, another female student fell victim to this senseless violence just yesterday.
“As a body saddled with the responsibility of overseeing the general affairs and welfarism of all Nigerian students, we strongly condemn these heinous acts and demand immediate action from the Ondo State Government and all security operatives responsible for safeguarding lives and property within the state.

“The incessant killings are a clear indication of a security lapse that must be addressed urgently.
“In light of these tragic events, NANS issues a 24-hour ultimatum to the Ondo State Government and all relevant security agencies to identify and apprehend the perpetrators of these crimes, implement robust security measures to prevent further attacks on students and ensure the safety and security of all students within the university and its environs.”
They demanded accountability and serious actions to protect the lives of their members, saying failure to comply within 24 hours “would leave us with no other option than to mobilise all student structures across the country down to Ondo State and stage a massive peaceful protest until our demands are met.”
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr Olayinka Ayanlade, confirmed the incident and said three suspects had been arrested in connection with the case.

“We are only appealing to the students not to take laws into their hand and they should allow the police to do thorough investigation and I’m sure justice would be served on the perpetrators,” he urged.

The source said, “Alex stays at Cele Niza here in Iyana Isashi. He had just come back from his place of work when he stepped out again, probably to meet a friend. He was on his way when some men on a bike stopped him on the way and shot him. It was the sound of the gunshot that attracted people around, who rushed to the spot and found him lying in a pool of blood. The gunmen were also seen trying to escape from the area while still on the bike.”
According to the source, Alex was immediately rushed to the hospital, where he was being attended to.
Giving an update on the incident on Wednesday, the source confirmed to that the victim succumbed to the gunshot injuries earlier in the day.

Meanwhile, the victim, otherwise known as Fleximore, was said to have had an altercation with some strangers at a nightclub in the community a day before the incident happened.
Another resident who identified himself simply as Quadri and made this known to The PUNCH on Wednesday said, “Some of his friends who went to a club in the area with him said he had a serious fight with some guys there. They said it started with an argument that later resulted in a confrontation.
“Although they tried to settle it but that is very unusual of him. You hardly hear anything of such about him. Alex is an easy-going person and does not make trouble, but we don’t know the kind of person he had issues with at the nightclub, and that is why some people said the attack was most likely a result of what happened at the club.”
According to Quadri, arrangements are ongoing to bury the late Alex.
