A UNIOSUN 400
level student of the Department of Physics Electronics, Adekunle Yusuf, aka
Stone, has allegedly stabbed another student, Kazeem Ige, to death.
The sad
incident happened at the Oke Baale area of Osogbo, the state capital.
It was
gathered that the deceased, a 24-year-old student of Civil Engineering
Department, and his assailant, who is on the run, were friends until about a
week ago when they fell apart.
Some students
told Punch that the students engaged each other on the street on Monday
immediately they met and Stone brought out a dagger and stabbed Ige.
The deceased
was first taken to a clinic at Oke Baale, but he was reportedly rejected by the
medical personnel and was taken to Our Lady of St. Fatima Hospital in the
Jaleyemi area of Osogbo, where he was confirmed dead on arrival.
A student of
the school, Seyi Bamigbayan, who reported the case at the OJa Oba Police
Station, told Punch on the telephone that the two students were friends before
they parted ways.
Bamigbayan
said, “The two students were friends, but I think they had an issue last week
and one of them was said to have hit the other with a hammer.
“But I heard
that they started fighting again when they saw each other yesterday ( Monday)
and Stone brought out a knife and stabbed Ige in the armpit.
“Ige fell and
there was blood everywhere. We rushed him to a clinic at Oke Balale before we
took him to Jaleyemi Hospital, where they told us he was dead.”
The Police
Public Relations Officer in the state, Mrs. Folashade Odoro, confirmed the
killing.
She said the
Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Fimihan Adeoye, had directed that
security should be beefed up in the area to prevent any form of reprisal.
“The CP has
ordered a thorough investigation into the case... the suspect must be
apprehended.”
