Two 200 level students of the Kwara State University, Malete, Kwara State, identified as Tobiloba Daniel and Arewa Abayomi, have been found dead in their room in a hostel outside the premises of the institution.
According to reports, Daniel and Abayomi were studying for the ongoing examination in the institution when they decided to go to the hostel to continue preparations for their exams the following day and things took another turn when their colleagues observed that the duo didn’t sit their exams the next day and were not seen on campus for three days.
Bothered by the development, the colleagues, after searching for them on the school premises to no avail, reportedly went to their room in the hostel to check on them.
Upon gaining entry into the room, the colleagues were said to have found the lovers lying naked and lifeless on the bed.
Reports say that the school management was immediately informed about the development and the police division in the area, after being notified, detailed policemen to evacuate the corpses to the mortuary.
A student, who spoke in confidence, said the lovers were not seen on campus for three days, adding that after their corpses were discovered in the hostel, students started suspecting that they were poisoned.
The student said, “We suspect they are lovers and we became concerned when they were not seen during the ongoing examination in the university and also in their class for three days.
Ajayi said, “The police were informed that two young students were found dead in their room in a hostel off campus. We went there and they were confirmed dead by doctors.
“I was not there but with the picture I saw, the man was covered up and the lady slept facing down half covered. The naked corpses were evacuated to the hospital for autopsy. We are still investigating the cause of the incident.”
As of the time of filing this report, details of the cause of their death is still unknown.
