Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State, has said that an undergraduate allegedly killed by a guard at a hotel in Ikorodu, Lagos, is not a student of the institution.
Miss Busayo Ogunkoya, 22, was reportedly shot dead by one Mr. Azeez Ibrahim, a guard attached to Mambillah Hotel during a birthday party on July 5. Ibrahim was said to be drunk when he shot Ogunkoya.
In a statement signed by the Director, Communication and Marketing, Mr. Joshua Suleiman, however, the authorities at the university said while Ogunkoya was admitted into the university some years back, she had since dropped out.
“While we regret the passing away of Busayo Ogunkoya, and sympathise with her family who currently are in anguish over this irreparable loss, Babcock University wishes to state here unequivocally that the victim was not our student at the time of her death.
She was admitted into Babcock University during the 2011/2012 academic session to read Public Administration. She dropped out of the university after one semester. Since then she ceased to be out student. Therefore, she could not have been our student.’’
Confirming the incidence, the Deputy Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Lelma Kolle, had said, “Yes, the incident happened. The girl was in the hotel and the security man opened fire on her. Nobody knows his reason for doing that. The police have arrested the assistant manager of the hotel, the deceased’s boyfriend and the security man. The case has been transferred to the SCID.’’

Do they ever admit?

It is when the girl died that she is not their student,if the girl happen to win award, they will be using her to proud and be making noise.

Who ll we ask then


the dead?

Nobody wants to be associated with anything negative.

She WAS a student of d school ,the school said that she dropped out but d family have not said anything about that yet. Until i hear from them,i won't believe this story cos i can see that u guys are trying to protect the image of ur school



RIP to d dead!

If Babcock admitted she was a student...will it make people not to apply there? She dropped out and ceased being their student. Instead of focussing on why she dropped out, busy with men and be going to parties she didn't even know the celebrants....u are defending. All d dead are innocent...now I remember.

Lwkmd,You are funny oooooo. Even d circumstances surrounding her death*She died in a Hotel where she attended a party* #Smh

On behalf of the president federal republic of nigeria

she is not our citizen
busayo ogunkoya is not our citizen,she is a togolese,she only came to nigeria at about 12yrs ago to work as a slave,her real name was 'moupe koure' but her name got change when she work for a family in badagry,she was being treat like a daughter in the family that why she was given a chance to be bearing 'ogunkoya'.when she came to nigeria she couldn't speak english language,it was the ogunkoya family that train her and gave her the name 'busayo'. While we regret d passing away of moupe koure a.k.a(busayo ogunkoya)and sympathise with her family in togo and her guidance in badagry. R.i.p to her.

Our police are mumu sha, what are they investigating again? Drunk guard shot the girl and they arrested the assistant manager and boyfriend...I cant relate on that


As for the school, I don't see any reason for the long and needless story of the girl spending just a semester and shii, that's stupid! Anybody can die at anytime, death doesn't care about the school you attend. I don't know when it became a sin to celebrate a birthday party in a hotel...some people's mentality sha

hmm, yoruba gals and their hoe(ic)

way of life
