Gun recovered from two undergraduates on mission to disrupt students’ union election
Two students of the Tai Solarin University, in Ogun State, have been arrested. The third suspect is said not to be a student. One locally made pistol and charms were recovered from the suspects.
The police believed their mission was to disrupt the students’ union election holding on the university campus.
According to the Ogun police command, the suspects are Adekoya Boluwatife Temilade, a 200 level student of the department of political science; Adio Oluwafemi Ifeoluwapo, 300 level student of Technical Education; and Agboluaje Okikiola Segun, a non-student.
The police said they had received intelligence about the suspects’ plan but thwarted it by deploying law enforcement to the campus.
“Following their arrest, a search was conducted on them and incriminating items were found in their possession, including one locally made cut-to-size pistol gun with one live cartridge in it was found on Adekoya Boluwatife,” the police said.
It was also gathered that some “local concoctions suspected to be criminal charms were found on Adio Oluwafemi.”
The suspects reportedly confessed to being members of a confraternity, Alora cult confraternity.
Investigation is still ongoing, the police said.
