The Ekiti State Police Command has arrested 10 suspects in connection with the death of a student of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (Fuoye), Modupe Deborah.
Its Public Relations Officer, DSP Abutu Sunday, made the announcement via the Command’s handle on X (formerly Twitter), adding that Deborah’s body was found in a shallow grave behind the Nursing Lecture Hall.
Sunday said further that the State’s Commissioner of Police, Ogundare Dare, has ordered a thorough investigation into the cause of the young lady’s death.
The late 200-level Nursing student was declared missing within the school premises on Tuesday, 5th of this month, and her body has been deposited in the morgue for autopsy.
Some students of the institution later condemned the tragic killing of their colleague after staging a protest on the campus.
Meanwhile, the school authority has closed it down to prevent further escalation of the disturbances resulting from the incident.
