Twenty-five students, aged between 18 and 34, have been implicated in the incident and were recently arraigned before the Chief Magistrate Court in Oyo State. They will remain in custody until their trial begins on July 8. Akron, who resided in the Shepherd Inn hostel on campus, was reportedly assaulted from 6 p.m. on Friday until around 10 a.m. on Saturday.
