There was a palpable tension around Oke-baale area of Osogbo, the
Osun State capital, on Tuesday, as the corpse of a 400 level student of
Osun State University, Oluwafemi Soonibare, was discovered beside an
Islamic cleric’s house.
Soonibare, a 400-level student of Microbiology in the school was
declared missing on June 26, 2017 after his sudden disappearance from
his residence.
The discovery of the student’s corpse created serious tension among the students and residents.
The development sparked protest leading to the destruction of the cleric’s house.
One of the students at the scene, Dolapo Ajayi told our reporter that
somebody from the area had alerted the Special Anti-robbery Squad
(SARS), who eventually visited the area.
According to Ajayi, the presence of the security operatives in the
area caught the attention of students and other residents of the area,
who thronged to the location.
A mosque, located close to the cleric’s residence was also damaged.
Meanwhile, all efforts to get the reaction of police over the
incident proved abortive, as calls put through to the Police Public
Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Folashade Odoro were not answered.
