The management of Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin, Kwara State, has refuted the report that the corpse of a female discovered at a refuse dump site was a student of the institution.
This was contained in a statement by the Information Officer of the institution, Femi Afolayan, in Ilorin on Wednesday, reacting to a statement by the state police command on Tuesday.
The statement reads in part; “the attention of the Al-Hikmah University has been drawn to a press release signed by the Public Relations Officer to the Kwara State Command of the Nigeria Police, DSP Toun Ejire-Adeyemi, on behalf of the state Commissioner of Police, CP Victor Olaiya on the above subject.
“The reference to Al-Hikmah University in the release was made by the suspect who must have used the name of the University to lure the girl to achieve his devilish act.
“Consequently, we need to clarify that at no time did students of Al-Hikmah University organise such a party as falsely claimed by the culprit.
“This clarification becomes imperative to assure parents, guardians and the University community of the safety of all our students throughout their stay on our campuses,” the statement declared.
