Father of Murdered TASUED Student Denies Cult Allegations, Claims Son Was Student Union Official

Hammed Ayinla Fabiyi, a fourth-year History student at TASUED, met a tragic end when he was reportedly dragged out of an examination hall and fatally injured by a group of assailants dressed in white shirts. The incident, which occurred on TASUED's campus in Ogun State, has raised serious concerns about security and student safety.

Ogun State Police Command initially indicated that Hammed was targeted by members of a rival cult group known as Aye, alleging that he belonged to the Eiye confraternity. However, his father, Musibau Fabiyi, has adamantly refuted these claims, asserting that his son was not involved in any cult activities but rather served as an official within TASUED's student body.

In an emotional interview, Musibau Fabiyi expressed shock over his son's tragic death and categorically stated that Hammed was not associated with any cult group. He recalled his son's role as a student union executive and his determination to expose alleged financial misappropriations within the university.

"I haven’t even seen him with any dangerous item before," Mr. Fabiyi emphasized, challenging the police assertion of his son's involvement in cultism. He further lamented the loss and condemned the act of violence among students, suggesting a possible motive related to internal university affairs rather than cultism.

"If this was a cultism issue, there would have been threats flying around or cases of retaliation," Mr. Fabiyi reasoned, highlighting the absence of prior warnings or confrontations typical in cult-related incidents.

The tragic event has prompted calls for thorough investigation and heightened security measures within TASUED to prevent such incidents in the future. The university community and concerned stakeholders await further developments as investigations into Hammed Fabiyi's death continue.
