Urging the academic and non-academic staff to summon courage to move past the tragic event, she also enjoined them to aid in every way possible as investigations to unravel the detailed circumstances of Mr Saheed’s murder is carried out.
After a closed-door meeting with the staff, Dr Ayandele proceeded to meet with the students, whose distraught faces spoke volumes about the character and personality of the deceased.
Addressing the students, she urged them to take comfort in God’s word and also conduct their lives in a manner that would make their now departed teacher immensely proud.
In a related development, the TG/PS directed that all activities relating to the annual Inter-House sports across Epe Zone be suspended indefinitely in honour of the deceased as well as for security reasons.
This was contained in a memo directed to all Principals across the Education District, and made available to Eko Hot Blog.
