Itsekiri elders stormed the Ajayi Crowther university in Oyo state on Wednesday, May 29 to demand for the body of their son, Alex Timileyin, who was allegedly beaten to death by his schoolmates.
The elders led by an Uncle of the deceased, Prince Yemi Emiko, visited the hostel where the late Prince was allegedly beaten to death and also had a meeting with the school management. The Itsekiri leaders also visited the morgue where the body of the deceased was said to have been kept.
One of the men in the delegation, Laju Dennis Mukoro, said the deceased was kept in a morgue that wasn’t functional and that it was only the body of the Prince that was in the morgue. Otuedon also mentioned that the body of the deceased has swollen up and that different marks of violence could be seen on it.
The state police command is yet to comment on the incident.
