AbdulRazaq: Murder of UNILORIN student unacceptable… justice must be served

AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, Kwara state governor, says the killers of Olajide Omowumi Blessing, a 300 student of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), must be brought to justice.

The governor said her death is “heart-wrenching and absolutely unacceptable”.

In a statement signed by Rafiu Ajakaye, his spokesperson, AbdulRazaq instructed the security agencies to bring the perpetrators to justice.

TheCable had reported that Blessing was found dead following an attack by suspected rapists on Tuesday.

Blessing, a student of the Department of Agriculture, was said to have been raped before she was murdered at her home along the Tanke axis of Ilorin, Kwara state capital.

“The development is heart-wrenching and absolutely unacceptable. Such antisocial and despicable behaviour will never be acceptable to all people of good conscience, and all of us will unite to fight this to a logical conclusion,” the governor said on Friday.

“I call on the security agencies to get to the root of this dastardly act with a view to bringing the mindless perpetrators to book.

I similarly call on anyone with valuable information to volunteer the same to the security agencies.

“I sincerely commiserate with the parents of the deceased, her course/ housemates, and the university community on this sad incident, while praying to the Almighty God to repose her soul.

“I join every person of good conscience to seek justice for Blessing so that such callous action and its perpetrators will never find a foothold in our society.”
