The Civil Engineering student, popularly known as Moore, was allegedly murdered while celebrating his final examinations on July 28.Deputy Registrar of the institution, Mr. Joe Ejiofor, had, on Tuesday, disclosed that the fight, which broke out among Osatuyi and his peers, occurred outside the college premises, having concluded their examination and left the vicinity.
He said: “On the day after our examinations, he signed on my shirt because we have been friends since our National Diploma days. After signing, he left with other students to a spot that houses a betting centre, called The Lions’ Den in Yaba. According to a report, a colleague said friends of Osatuyi had raised money for an autopsy to be done, but his parents had reportedly rejected the idea.When The Guardian visited the viewing lounge known as The Lions’ Den last week, the Chief Security Officer stated that nothing happened on the premises and that he was not aware of the incident which claimed the life of a student.
When asked if the police had been informed, he said since the incident occurred outside the school premises and no one is sure whether those involved are students of the institution, the management could not take responsibility for the situation.While he described the incident as tragic and unfortunate, he said the college was a sane environment that did not allow parties on campus to avoid fights or disorderliness.
