Angry students of the Osun State University have taken over the
streets of Osogbo in protest against the alleged ritual killing of an
undergraduate.
The students had on Tuesday burnt down a house close to where the remains of Sonibare Timileyin, a 400 level Microbiology student was discovered.
Resuming their demonstration on Wednesday
morning, the angry students, dressed in black were said to have marched
from their school campus at Oke Baale, to the Palace of the Ataoja of
Osogbo, and made a stop at the Olaiya roundabout where a bonfire was
made.
The students who reportedly came out in
thousands were seen destroying everything they came across, chasing
people with sticks and iron materials.
Channels
TV reported that commercial and vehicular activities in the town have
been grounded and there is a significant amount of tension in the air.
The
suspects responsible for the gruesome act, Sakariyau Abdulrafiu (19),
Ibrahim Ayuba (24) and Yusuf Aliu (18), have been arrested and they have
all confessed to killing Timileyin whose head they were planning to use
for money ritual.
