The Students’ Union Public Relations Officer, Olaogbebikan Noble,  emphasized the need for clarity once the police investigation concludes on the circumstances surrounding Ayandare's mysterious death. The death of Modupe Ayandare, a 500-level student of Agronomy at Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko (AAUA), has sparked mixed reactions among students and the community following the tragic incident that occurred off campus on Monday.

"Yesterday, they said a student committed suicide, so we went to the spot to check and met her kneeling down with a rope on her neck. The rope we saw on her was not tied firmly at the upper part," recounted Noble. "The case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department. At the moment, we cannot say it was suicide."

Noble highlighted that traditional rites were performed before Ayandare's body was moved to the morgue, underscoring the confusion surrounding the incident.

Oluwaseun Ogunmola, an activist, expressed doubts about the official narrative of suicide. He called on the state government to intervene and to conduct a thorough investigation to unravel the true cause of Ayandare's death.

"This is not the first time an AAUA undergraduate will be proclaimed dead without any convincing event that led to the death. With the report and videos seen so far, it looks suspicious and unbelievable that it was a suicide," Ogunmola stated passionately. "We demand clarification on this incident."
