“The management of Kwara State University strongly sympathises with the family of the deceased and prays that God gives the family the fortitude to bear the loss.
The Kwara State Police Command had confirmed the alleged killing of the 27-year-old student identified as Suleiman Olayinka in the Tanke area Ilorin saying the police were already aware and had taken action on it.
