Twenty-five students from Ajayi Crowther University in Oyo State have been arraigned before a Chief Magistrate Court for their role in the death of Alex Timileyin, a fellow student who was allegedly beaten to death by the group on university grounds.
The incident reportedly occurred last Friday evening inside a university hostel known as Shepherd Inn.
The accused were said to have attacked Timileyin after he was alleged to be behind the theft of a mobile phone belonging to one of the accused.
The beating is said to have continued for over 16 hours, from Friday evening to Saturday morning.
The students, aged between 18 and 34, were remanded in prison and will remain there until their trial date on July 8th, 2024.
News of the arraignment was shared online by an activist identified as “Lord Of Warri,” a relative of the deceased.
“Lord Of Warri” had previously petitioned the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, urging him to ensure justice is
served.
In a social media update, “Lord Of Warri” expressed appreciation to the Oyo State authorities for pursuing the case and holding the perpetrators accountable.
They added their hope for a full and just resolution during the upcoming trial.
