In a statement signed by its Chairman, Prof. Ayo Akinwole, yesterday, the union said the acting IGP should take passionate interest in the case and deploy human and technical expertise to unravel the mystery surrounding the killing so that the perpetrators will be made to face the full wrath of the law.
Akinwole said that the IGP should be concerned and use the privileged resources of his office to assist in cracking the criminals behind the dastardly killing of the professor.
Meanwhile, the burial programmes for the late don began on Sunday, July 2, 2023, with a candlelight procession to the Trenchard Hall of the university, followed by a Christian wake yesterday, July 3, 2023 and lying-in-state in the university today, July 4, 2023.
