Murder of Kwara Undergraduate Sparks Security Concerns at Al-Hikmah Varsity

The management of Kwara-based private institution, Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin (AUI), has assured parents and guardians of students in the school of the adequate safety of their children and wards.

This followed the confusion that resulted in the murder of the 21-year-old student of Kwara State College of Health Technology, Offa, Kwara State.

The police had confirmed that the deceased was lured to Ilorin for an “unexciting” party organised by both Al-Hikmah and Summit University.

However, she was eventually killed by a male lover who was introduced to her by another female friend, Blessing O.

Her corpse was discovered at a refuse dump near Aleniboro Area in Ilorin.

Reacting, the management of Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin, said, “The suspect, Adebayo Happiness, must have used the name of the University to lure the girl to achieve his devilish act.”

A statement by the institution’s information officer, Femi Afolayan, said it was imperative for the school to allay the fears of parents and guardians.

“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 so as to assure parents, guardians, and the University community of the safety of all our students throughout their stay on our campuses,” he said.
