In the quiet halls of Ajayi Crowther University, a tragedy unfolded that shook the very foundation of the institution’s values and principles. Alex Timileyin, a young man with dreams and aspirations like many others, found his fate sealed not by destiny but by the hands of his peers. The allegations were severe—a stolen phone—but the response was barbaric and inhumane.

From dusk till dawn, from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., Alex was subjected to a relentless assault. The rain poured down, indifferent to his suffering, as he was beaten mercilessly. In a cruel act of humiliation, his attackers shaved his head, stripping him not just of his dignity but ultimately his life. The echoes of their laughter, a chilling soundtrack to his ordeal, were captured in recordings that will forever mar the memory of that night.
The questions that arise are as piercing as the incident itself. Why was the alleged theft not reported to the university security? Why did the students feel empowered to exact such a brutal form of vigilante justice? And amidst the chaos, where was the dormitory porter, the guardian tasked with the safety of the students within those walls?

The university has expelled the students involved and handed them over to the police, assuring that justice will be served. Yet, the community demands answers and accountability. The outcry is not just for Alex but for every student whose safety is entrusted to educational institutions. Ajayi Crowther University stands at a crossroads, where the path it chooses now—to confront this heinous act and ensure it never happens again—will define its legacy and honor the memory of Alex Timileyin.
As the investigation unfolds, the nation watches, hoping for justice and a future where no student ever has to endure what Alex did. The call for action is clear, and the silence of inaction is no longer an option.
