Murder At Oyo Varsity: APC Chieftain Calls For Justice, Threatens Action
In a now-viral video, the All Progressives Congress chieftain criticized the silence of Governor Makinde and Minister Mamman, demanding justice and the closure of the school. He emphasized that he wouldn't take the law into his hands yet but urged the governor to ensure that the matter was thoroughly investigated.
Nigerian Businessman and politician, Ayiri Emami, has called out the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde and the Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman for their silence amidst the murder case, threatening to occupy Ajayi Crowther University in Oyo State.
This comes after the tragic death of a second-year studen, Akro Jeffrey Chamuke of Ajayi Crowther University, who was reportedly beaten to death by fellow student. The incident has caused widespread anger online. It has been reported that the late Alex was the son of Princess Antonia Emiko, the daughter of Olu Erejuwa II (1951-1986), and a niece of the current Olu of Warri. He was also a first cousin of His Majesty, Ogiame Atuwatse III, the Olu of Warri Kingdom.
