At least six students from Ajayi Crowther University (ACU) in Oyo State have been arrested by the police in connection with the brutal murder of their colleague, Alex Timileyin.
The incident occurred on the night of Friday, May 24, 2024, when the arrested students allegedly attacked Alex after accusing him of stealing a missing iPhone 12 Pro Max.
The students, who reside in Shepherd’s Inn hostel, reportedly stripped Alex, shaved his head, and subjected him to a gang beating that lasted from 10 pm on Friday until 6 am on Saturday.
Tragically, Alex was left outside in the rain after the assault, where he succumbed to his injuries.
The 200-level Engineering student was discovered dead in front of the hostel on Saturday morning.
