Black Sunday as U.I loses Two Students in 24 Hours.
The University of Ibadan student community was thrown into deep sorrow and mourning in the early hours of Sunday 17 October 2021 by the death of Adegoke Adedayo Ridwan a 400 level student of the department of History. The said student was said to have been robbed at gunpoint at Preboye world shopping complex in the late hours of Saturday 16 October 2021. Although with his belongings already taken from him he was shot right on the spot and lost his life.
However, in the villainous spirit, the perpetrator of the ungodly act had the entry to message Dayo’s friends telling them that he had killed their friends and they should not make effort to looking for him(the perpetrator) or else they would become victims also.
While the university community was still grappling with the news of the death of Adebayo, another student was reported to have been run over by a fast speeding vehicle around Mobil Filling station, U.I – Ojoo axis. The said student, Oluwaseun is a 200 level microbiology student of the University of Ibadan. She was said to have been rushed to the university health facility popular known as JAJA, where she was pronounced dead due to excessive loss of blood.
The hearts of students of the university are still heavy and having to grapple with the death of a student is never what anyone would have wished for not to imagine having to battle with two deaths. We all at Campus News pray for the forgiveness of sins for the departed and that their soul rest in peace.
