Ekohotblog, September 20, 2020…Missing student of Osun State Polytechnic, Festus Adedoyin Ewejobi has been found dead in his apartment.

The victim was declared missing on Tuesday, September 15.

After a thorough search was carried out, he was found dead with his body mutilated in his apartment in Iree, on Saturday, September 19, residents reported.

A reliable source said,“We initially thought that the deceased was out of town when he was not seen or sighted in the neighbourhood for about four days.

But we became worried because he would always leave a clue as to his whereabouts whenever he was going out. Hence, we raised the alarm when his whereabouts were unknown.

Our worries about his safety heightened when we perceived a stench coming from his room. We forced our way into his room only to find his mutilated body.

We reported the matter to the police divisional headquarters in the community and men of the station invited local government officials to evacuate the body. Family members of the deceased have also been contacted.

From the look of things, his assailants probably trailed him to his room and killed him with a machete.’’

The spokesperson of the state police command, Yemisi Opalola, confirmed the report.

According to Opalola, one Opeyemi Adeshina, a student of Osun State Polytechnic, reported to the police station in the community.
