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.
