The late student |
According to Sahara Reporter, four students of University of Lagos (UNILAG), Adeboye Timothy, Aramowo Stephen, Awe-Obe Raphael and Iwerima Jacob were arrested for acting suspiciously at the graveside of a colleague, Eniola Jacobs, who died from an intake of a lethal pest-control chemical widely known as "Sniper."
"We arrested the students at the graveside when they insisted they wanted to exhume the corpse for resurrection," Mr. Adejobi said.
The PPRO said the action was unacceptable to the parents and also appeared strange to the police. He confirmed that the students arrested are being detained at the Criminal Investigations Department of the Eleweran Division in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Jacobs died Sunday morning at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) while being treated for toxin intake.
Colleagues of the deceased, who were at the scene of the incident, told SaharaReporters that a bottle of Pepsi and a container bearing the chemical were found in his bag shortly after the incident, which took place at the library of the Faculty of Education.
"His screams were coming from the Education Library. He got assistance and was taken to the Alpha Base from where he was moved to the hospital," a classmate said.
The deceased was said to have shouted: "sniper...sniper..!" while hurrying out of the library and calling for help.
Thus, other UNILAG students are campaigning via the hash tag for their release!
