Two first-year female students at Tai Solarin University of Education in Ijagun, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, were reportedly assaulted by suspected robbers on Monday.
According to The PUNCH, the incident occurred around 12:30 am when armed robbers broke into the students’ apartments and took their belongings.
A source within the university, speaking anonymously due to fear of retaliation, revealed that the assailants, wielding firearms, coerced the students into handing over their phones and other possessions before leading them to an unfinished building, where they were repeatedly assaulted.
The spokesperson for the State Police Command, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the event via a WhatsApp message, stating that the search for the suspects was underway.
Odutola said, “The incident was reported at the Igbeba Police Division at about 10:00 am. Our operatives immediately combed the area in search of the suspects. Efforts are in top gear to arrest everyone involved in the crime.
“In the meantime, the survivors have been taken to the school clinic for treatment.”
