However, the family of Ayo Adekunle Ajala don’t believe he took his life and labelled it as baseless and outright falsehood. Instead, they believe their son their was murdered.
Mr Ayodeji Ajala, his grieving father told newsmen, “Ayo left home in Sokoto last week Tuesday for school at Aliero, Kebbi State, and the elder sister told us that he communicated with her in the evening that he got to school safely.
“The following day, we made repeated calls to him; I decided to travel to Aliero on Thursday to check on him as it was very unusual for him not to take his calls or call back.
“On getting to the school in company with his younger brother, we noticed that people gathered in front of the hostel. When I got there, I was given a chair to sit on and some lecturers were already seated. They broke the sad news to me and their narration was that when they opened Ayo’s room that Thursday, they saw his lifeless body.
“I was then asked if I would like to see his corpse, but I politely declined. His younger brother was inconsolable. I was then taken to an office, from where I contacted my son-in-law, who later joined us from Sokoto.

“The school never mentioned anything about suicide when they broke the news of his death to me. The officials only said his body was found in his room and the police were already investigating his death. They also asked if I wanted his remains to be buried in Aliero and I insisted that he should be taken to Sokoto.
“My son had no reason to and could not have contemplated such a cruel and ungodly act as suicide. He was a well brought up, God-fearing, obedient and well-behaved child. As I am talking to you, the police have yet to contact us. So, how did the theory of suicide come in?”
The deceased had his first degree at the Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, and carried out his Master’s degree at the Kebbi State University of Science and Technology, where he returned for his PhD.
Pastor Ola Mustapha, Ayo’s brother-in-law revealed he was shown a rope, which the school authorities claimed was removed from his neck.
He narrated, “On getting to the campus, I requested to see his corpse, but I was told that it had been evacuated to the hospital and I headed straight for the hospital, where I demanded to see the body, which they obliged. On my request, they took me to his room, where he was the sole occupant, but the room was under lock and key.
“When I peeped into the room through the window, I noticed plenty sand and upon enquiry, I was told that the sand was poured on blood stains on the floor.
“Evidence at our disposal showed that the rope they claimed to have found on his neck was not strong or long enough to hold someone, who wished to commit suicide. The wardrobe they claimed to have found his corpse in is not tall enough for someone of Ayo’s height to have hung himself in.
“This sudden twist has added more grieve to the family. We are bombarded with numerous calls from those trying to find out the true position. However, we are holding our peace in honour of the departed, but anxiously waiting for the outcome of the investigation.”
A police source also revealed that the sum of N291,000 was discovered in Ayo’s room, while his two phones and a laptop were taken away by the police.
For now, no official statement has been released from the university’s management over Ayo’s death.
See how some Nigerians reacted to this heartbreaking incident:
Someone posted:
“Unfortunately the Nigerian police don’t have the skills, intelligence or resources to carry out even the most basic investigation. They’ll just take a few statements are file it off in their records, the chances of getting justice in Nigeria is slim to none and it’s a huge disappointment that this is the level it has become in over 60 years of independence.
At times I wonder what metrics they use to get promoted to various ranks, useless Animal Police Force”
Another wrote:
“U can imagine the grief and pains upon the Family.
Blood! Blood! Blood!
This country needs spiritual cleansing;
There’s no time u read the news without heartache news; most especially from the Northern hemisphere.
when the Wicked is in power indeed”

Someone else said:
“May God give the family the fortitude to bear their loss.
From the father statement it looks like a murder.
We don’t have Police in Nigeria not to talk of Police force.
If a serving federal minister of justice Cheif James Bola Ige can be murdered in his home and nothing happens so what do you expect.”
