How come no arrest has been made yet??

R.I.P Boss.

Officers of Adoff Police Station in the Iba area of Lagos have told the family of Yusuf Nurudeen Alowonle, an education rights activist who was murdered in front of Lagos State University (LASU), not to perform an autopsy on the deceased’s body.

Alowonle’s murder raised controversies after it happened on Wednesday night. While some argued that he was shot dead, others believed he was stabbed by robbers.

In order to establish the actual cause of the death, the deceased’s family members, as well as Taiwo Hassan Soweto, the National Coordinator of the Education Rights Campaign (ERC), a civil group where Alowonle was a state coordinator, went to the morgue at the Infectious Diseases Hospital, Yaba, to recover the body for an autopsy.

“On our own part, we were only interested in recovering the corpse and allowing the dead rest,” Yusuf Nurudeen Temilolu, the family’s lawyer, told FIJ.

“But, what got me really infuriated was when the police insisted that we followed them to the station to sign an affidavit that we would not seek an autopsy.”

Soweto also said that the conduct of the police officers raised suspicion of a cover-up.

“There was no refusal to release the remains of our comrade until the police intervened. I wonder why these officers from Adoff Police Station are only interested in how the dead would be buried but not an investigation into the actual crime,” he said.

“One of the mortuary attendants confirmed to me that the hole by the rib of Omomewa was a result of a gunshot wound. This pronouncement coincides with the testimony of Waheed Majekodunmi, the Senior Assistant Registrar at the Lagos State University, who had equally told us he sustained a gunshot injury.”

Soweto asked whether the police had played any role in taking care of Omomewa’s remains before the Lagos State Environmental Health Monitoring Unit ( SEHMU) was invited to deposit the corpse in the morgue.

“Since the police said they were around the vicinity as of the time of the attack, how come they didn’t hear any gunshot or screams from the two victims?” he asked.

However, Grace Umelo, the Divisional Police Officer of Iba, claimed that “There was nothing like the police refraining the family from conducting an autopsy on the corpse”.

A source told FIJ that the Investigating Police Officer in charge of Alowonle’s case didn’t examine the corpse before drafting the police extract that would have facilitated the recovery of Alowonle’s remains.

Meanwhile, John Obafunwa, the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital’s chief pathologist, has directed that an autopsy be performed on the deceased’s body.


Alowonle should have graduated in early 2020 but LASU delayed his clearance over an allegation of admission racketeering, a case he had been facing since 2019, [url][/url] learnt. On the day of his death, he appeared before a disciplinary panel of the school at about 2 pm.

“Omomewa was persecuted to death,” the family’s lawyer said.

“On the day he died, we both attended a sitting of the university’s panel against him on a case that was not known in the law of the school.”\

A 20-year-old boy Kenneth Akobundu from Umuezeala Owere in Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State, who manufactured a mini-aircraft has been offered a scholarship by the Imo State Government to study in any university of his choice.

The scholarship was announced on Wednesday in Owerri, by the State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Declan Emelumba, after meeting with Akobundu, [url][/url] revealed.

He said the aim of the scholarship was to enable Akobundu, actualise his dream of becoming an aerospace manufacturer.

The Commissioner said: “Governor was not happy, that due to paucity of funds that the young man has not been able to accomplish his aim of fully manufacturing an aircraft to perfection.

“Worried of this situation, the governor has directed we meet with the young man and tell him that the government will take responsibility of his educational requirements to any university of his choice so that he can actualise his dream of constructing an aeroplane. This is a government of shared prosperity and it is part of this government agenda to encourage young people with such initiative to move to the next level and not allow this talent to waste.”

Earlier in his remark, Akobundu said his “20 years old, I had the intention of becoming a naval officer, but I keep seeing myself in the area of creativity and started constructing an aircraft when I was 17 years old, and by 2019 when I created an aircraft, I tried it, it did not fly and I continued in 2020 and by 2021, I was able to fix the aircraft and I succeeded in flying it.

“I test run it in my place, Ehime Mbano, it takes five minutes running before it will fly and I can fly for about three to four hours in the air. I can fly from there to the Imo Airport.”

“Today, I am very happy for this opportunity given to me by my governor, Hope Uzodimma, I never thought this will happen to me one day. The Imo government has brought me hope and I want to say thank you and I will not disappoint you.”

This is bad.

Bandits, who kidnapped the students and staff of the College of Agriculture and Animal Science in Zamfara State, have demanded N350million ransom for their release.

The gunmen had on Sunday night invaded the institution in Bakura Local Government Area of the state.

[url][/url] gathered that a police officer and three security officials were killed during the incident.

According to [url][/url], the provost of the College, Alhaji Habibu Mainasara, said the bandits had called him and told him that they “needed N350 million for the 20 people currently in their captivity.”

“They said that the money must be paid before they could release the staff and the students they kidnapped in my school,” he added.

The provost did not make a further explanation on whether the families of the affected staff and students would pay the amount or the state government.

When contacted, the spokesperson for the state police command, Mohammed Shehu, said the command was not aware of the amount of money demanded by the bandits.

“We are not aware of this development but we are doing our best to rescue the kidnapped victims,” he said

A civil engineer, Kassim Lawani, has accused the management of Bowen University, Iwo, Osun State, of lying about the circumstances surrounding the death of his 19-year-old daughter, Precious.

[url][/url] gathered that Precious was admitted for a Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board programme in the institution.

Barely a month after her resumption of studies, Kassim said the varsity chaplain, one Dr Larry, led a delegation to his house in the Rumukwurushi area of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, to break the news of his daughter’s death to him.

According to him, the delegates claimed that Precious died shortly after she was found convulsing in the hostel due to an illness that prevented her from leading prayers during the morning devotion.

He also stated that the delegates indicated the varsity’s readiness to take care of her burial expenses.

Our correspondent learnt that the family agreed with the proposed burial arrangement, but demanded an autopsy to ascertain the cause of the teenager’s death.

Her father said the matter took another turn when the family visited the school.

“While our relatives were talking to some of my daughter’s colleagues who witnessed the incident, they said Precious actually led the prayer on the fateful day, and that while all of them closed their eyes in prayers, they heard a loud bang.

“As they quickly opened their eyes, they discovered that Precious had fallen some meters below a narrow corridor in front of the hostel, where the prayer session was being held.

“As the students rushed down to see what might have happened, they discovered that she had a cracked skull; she was eventually taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead,” he added.

An autopsy report obtained by [url][/url] revealed that the victim died from “intracranial haemorrhage, skull fracture, blunt force trauma to the head.”

The time and date of death were stated as 7am, December 5, 2020.

Kassim said when the school management was confronted with the report, the family was informed that the varsity had equally conducted an internal investigation.

However, it reportedly refused to share the report of the investigation with the family.

“The school claimed that Precious was found convulsing on the floor of the hostel prior to her death, but she never had any history of convulsion. The school promised to release my daughter’s medical record to the family, but refused to do so till date. What is Bowen University hiding?

“They volunteered to bury her in the school cemetery with all expenses to be taken care of by the school. We were in shock and had no choice, but to agree. We had no reason whatsoever to doubt the school.

“However, the mystery, the disparities, the lies, and the suspected cover-up by the school on the real cause of Precious’ death opened up the real reason for the school’s actions.

“Bowen University never wanted us to discover the real cause of my daughter’s death. It chose not to call us immediately after she died because we would have visited the school and upon discovering her cracked skull would have demanded answers,” an enraged Kassim added.

A spokesman for Bowen University, Toba Adaramola, said the management would react later.

He said, “The situation is regrettable; nobody will ever wish for something like that to happen. Maybe at the appropriate time, the school will react.”

What is this faaa?

The Rivers State College of Health Science and Management Technology has extended by three months, the suspension of its Head of Department, Dental Surgery, Princewill Chicakpobi for alleged sexual harassment against a student.

The College Provost, Prof Franklin Nlerum, who disclosed this to [url][/url] Monday, said the suspension with effect from 5 August was based on the report of a panel of inquiry that indicted the lecturer for sexual harassment.

The school had earlier suspended Chikakpobi after mother of a female student had on 16 April raised alarm over alleged rape of her daughter by the said lecturer of the school.

Nlerum stated, “Based on the report of the Panel, a case of Sexual Harassment was established against one of the female students in the College.

“The College decided to extend the suspension order against Chikakpobi by another three months. Within this period also his appointment as Head of Department (HOD), Dental Health has been suspended.

He has been relieved as HOD of that office and placed on half salary throughout the period of his suspension, [url][/url] learnt

The Provost however dismissed the earlier case of rape alleged by the affected student for lack of insufficient evidence to prove the allegation.

Nlerum explained that, “The student according to the panel was told to bring a report of medical test. She was unable to produce one. Based on that, the committee dismissed the allegation of rape.”

Related this news, the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, IAUE, has suspended, for 12 months without pay, Mr. Godwin Olai, a lecturer of the Department of Management effective 8 August, 2021, for attempted extortion on a student.

The Rivers state-owned varsity’s Staff Disciplinary Committee indicted Olai for demanding N70,000 from one of his undergraduate supervisees to write, type, and bind his project on the student’s behalf.
