The Ogun State Government has ordered an investigation into the killing of a 300-level student of Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED), Ijagun.
The Ogun State Government gave the directive via a statement issued on Sunday, June 4, by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Information and Strategy, Waheed Adesina.
Adesina, who described the killing as a dastardly act, promised the management and students of TASUED that those behind the killing would not go unpunished.
He disclosed that the police had been instructed to invite all those concerned, including the Baale of Imaweje village and the institution’s host community where the incident happened to unravel the cause of the death.
He said: “No one has the right to take the law into their own hand.

“Every action necessary would be taken to punish all those involved.
“The government appealed to the students of the institution to remain peaceful and law-abiding, while waiting for the outcome of the police investigation.
“Such an incident will not be allowed to happen again anywhere in the state.”
It would be recalled that some angry students of the university had embarked on a violent protest in the aftermath of the death.
They allegedly set four houses ablaze in the community, including that of the Baale.
The deceased, whose name has yet to be ascertained, was reportedly beaten to death for allegedly belonging to a cult group.
Meanwhile, the management of TASUED, on May 28, announced the closure of the institution to forestall an escalation of the crisis.
