He added that the commissioner vowed that the command would do everything possible to “unearth the identity of the perpetrator (s) and ensure they were made to face the full wrath of the law.”

Meanwhile, the Registrar of the university, Mufutau Ibrahim, in a statement Thursday morning, confirmed the death of the student.

Mr Ibrahim recounted that the management had earlier made public the disturbing development about the deceased and assured that an investigation was ongoing to unravel her whereabouts.

“But current information reaching the security outfit of the university has disclosed that the said student is dead,” he said.


“While the university management condoles with the family of the deceased and the generality of the university community, particularly our dear students, an investigation is ongoing with the security agencies with a view to getting to the root of the sad development and arresting the perpetrators.”

Mr Ibrahim also assured the parents of the deceased that every person connected to the death of their daughter would be arrested and be made to face the wrath of the law.
