Tears flowed in Arigidi-Akoko, Akoko North West Local Government Area of Ondo State, as Joy Adeyemi, a fresh graduate of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko (AAUA), who was brutally murdered, was buried.

The development was confirmed in a statement obtained by WESTERN POST, jointly signed by the union’s President, Comrade Salami Akeem, and General Secretary, Comrade Bakare Jamiu Abiodun.

The students called on security agencies to act “swiftly and effectively to ensure transparency and accountability in their profession.”

The statement reads, “Amidst gripping fear and rigorous ongoing investigation credit to the earlier brutal murder of Joy, a fresh graduate from the Department of Human Kinetics and Health Education, Faculty of Education.

“A POS attendant who was reportedly murdered by her inhumane boyfriend, a lace serial killer who is still on the run.

“Today, the leadership of the Students’ Union visited Iwaro General Hospital for the possession of the remains of Joy, who had been buried in her hometown at Arigidi Akoko.

“While the investigation is ongoing properly, the leadership of the Students’ Union has tasked the men of the Nigerian Police to be fast and vast for the transparency and accountability of their profession.

“The Students’ Union, which has taken it upon itself since the sad news of her passing and is thoroughly involved in following up the investigation in search of her killer, deeply understands the weight of the sorrow that has befallen our student community since the news of her passing was broken.
