A male student of the Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo town in Oyo State has died after being physically assaulted by his colleagues for allegedly stealing a mobile phone.
He was reportedly beaten from 10 pm to 6 am in a hostel known as Shepherd Inn after the mobile phone had been recovered from him, leading to his death.
Some disturbing videos obtained by SaharaReporters show how a group of students beat the yet-to-be-identified student and also shaved his head.
The varsity management in a statement credited to its spokesperson, Femi Atoyebi, and published by the News Agency of Nigeria on Saturday, said the group of students who assaulted the deceased had been expelled.
He added that the students had been handed over to the police for prosecution.
“Contrary to what is trending, the university affirms that there is no cultism in the institution, just as the university has zero tolerance for any sort of anti-societal vices and misconduct.
“It is important to stress that the expelled students do not belong to any cult group,” Atoyebi said.
