cult members and hoodlums, with the latest victim being Abdulazeez
Babatunde, a National Diploma 2 student of the Department of Fishery
technology.

When contacted, Dr. Sesan Olukayode, Dean of Student affairs said management was doing its best to save the situation while denying the involvement of members of its staff.
