Killer of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA), student, Mr. Olumuyiwa Ewaramon has been declared wanted by the Department of State Security Services (DSS).
Late Olumuyiwa, who was a 400 level of Psychology department was believed to have been killed by members of the Cadet Corps, a paramilitary organisation.
Three weeks ago, there was commotion at the school, when a commander of the Cadet Corps, Adedoyin Adeola, popularly described as “spillover student”, led some gangsters to Ewarawon’s hostel, where he was allegedly beaten to a coma.
A student said: “Ewarawon was sleeping when Adedoyin, known as Iron body, led his gang of Cadet Corps members into Shanghai Villa (a private hostel) and asked for Oluwamuyiwa’s room.
“The next thing we heard was banging on the door. The culprits forcefully entered the room and beat the victim until blood started gushing out of his body.
“After the incident, Adedoyin escaped. His parents who live in Igbotako, Okitipupa Local Government have also fled their home.”
Another student said: “After the beating, Olumuyiwa was rushed to the Iwaro General Hospital.
“His condition worsened and the doctor on duty advised that he should be transferred to another hospital.
“He was taken to the University Teaching Hospital (UCH) Ibadan, Oyo State, where he died.”
The news of Ewarawon’s death went viral on social media and has generated lots of controversy in the university community.
Several students recalled that the Cadet Corps once threatened the deceased during a show organised by the university.
The university management has declared Adedoyin wanted.
The Dean, Students Affairs, Bolanle Ogungbamila, said the Cadet Corps would be banned, until the university management investigates the incident.
He said: “The organisation (Cadet Corps) will remain banned while the university management investigates the situation.
“We are on top of the situation and we have advised our students not to take the law in their hands.
“They should remain calm, until the school investigates the matter.”
In a statement, the Student Union Government (SUG) urged Adedoyin to surrender to the police.
The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Igbekele Ajibefun, has also suspensed all para-military organisations on campus.
He set up a three-man investigation panel to unravel the cause of the incident.
A statement by the Registrar, Bamidele Olotu, said: “In view of the recent activities of para-military organisations that led to the death of a student outside the campus, the VC has suspended the activities of all para-military organisations in the university.
“A three-man investigation panel has been constituted to look into the matter.”
