A newly admitted Mass Communication student at Rufus Giwa Polytechnic (RUGIPO), Owo, identified as Oluwaseun Adeleye, was brutally attacked and killed by assailants on Tuesday at Opomulero Street in Owo, Ondo State.
According to a student of the institution, Adeleye, who was a course representative and musician, had only resumed classes about a month ago.
“He was a fresher who had spent just three to four weeks on campus. In fact, he was a course representative. It is sad that we lost him. Unfortunately, he was macheted,” the source said.
The institution’s Public Relations Officer, Samuel Ojo, described the incident as unfortunate.
Ondo State Police spokesperson, CSP Funmilayo Odunlami, confirmed the case, stating, “Yes, it’s a case of suspected murder of one Seun Ojo Adeleye, an ND 1 student of Mass Communication.”
