A Chemical Engineering student of the
Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, who was identified as Pelumi
Taiwo, has been shot by unknown assailants outside the Campus.
Acording to a statement by the Security
Unit of OAU, the victim was in his car with his girlfriend about 9pm on
Friday when the incident occurred.
Pelumi, it was learnt, initially stopped
his vehicle on the Ede Road to pick a female acquaintance. While he was
waiting for his friend at a bushy part of the road, the assailants
approached him and pointed a gun at him.
He was ordered to move to the back seat.
Pelumi was said to have pleaded with the gunmen, but the attackers
riddled his body with bullets. As Pelumi was bleeding, the attackers,
who witnesses said were robbers, left with the victim’s girlfriend.
The victim, drenched in blood, crawled
to the security post at Road One Gate, where he called for help. He was
immediately rushed to the university’s Teaching Hospital. His girlfriend
was, however, dropped on the Ife-Ibadan Expressway near Oduduwa
University.
It was gathered the shot student has
been discharged and recovering at undisclosed location. The university
has beefed up security around the campus and urged students to be alert
and security conscious.
