BREAKING 🔥🔥🔥
The dead can not cry for justice; it’s a duty of the leaving to do so for them
It’s with great sadness that we announce the death of Okoli Arinze, a part 5 student of Civil engineering who was beaten to death by the so-called union “leadership”—who are meant to ensure the safety of all great Ife students.
The deceased was accused of having stolen a phone. He was paraded by the Awoites EXECUTIVES and, at about 11 pm yesterday, was eventually handed over to the Union’s security committee —where he was brutally tortured overnight.
At about 3 pm today, the news reaching us stated that the “accused” gave up the ghost, and immediately, the faculty leadership went to meet with the school CSO to know his stance regarding the issues. The CSO made it known that their unit asked the AWO HALL EXECUTIVES to hand over the “accused” to them. Immediately he learned they caught “someone” so that the unit could investigate the matter, but the AWO HALL EXECUTIVES refused to release him to them. Also, according to him, the Awo Hall chairman and the director of socials are now in police custody at Osogbo.
Eyewitnesses at the SUB revealed that the deceased was already dead before being taken to the hospital, where he was declared dead. Only God knows what exactly they did to him.
As of now, there has been nobody to account for the death of the “deceased.” The parties known to be involved in these murder cases have been playing a lot of games to throw the case under the carpet and are now nowhere to be found.
However, justice must prevail because an injury to one is an injury to all. The leadership of this faculty is ready to go to any length to ensure that justice prevails over this murder.
To ensure that all parties involved(The Awo hall executives and the Students Union Security Committee) in this murder are brought to justice, all faculty of Technology students are to converge at SUB at 7 am tomorrow to meet with the school management.
Moreover, the leadership of this faculty urges the members to ensure absolute peace and avoid violence.
