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.

The deceased according to reports,
was the only son of his aged mother.

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, a
private hostel outside the school
campus, 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.

While the University authorities
responded by condemning all para-
military organizations in the
institution, it was reported late
yesterday that two of the suspects
had been arrested.

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.

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.

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.
