A delegation comprising representatives from both Warri and Uvwie kingdoms of Delta State arrived at the Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo State, on Wednesday to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the death of Alex Timileyin, a student allegedly beaten to death by his colleagues last Saturday.

The deceased was reportedly a prince in the Uvwie and Warri kingdoms of Delta.

Sharing videos from their visit on Facebook on Wednesday, a member of the delegation, Yemi Otuedon, said the visit was led by the deceased uncle, Yemi Emiko, and Efe Ofobruku.

Otuedon wrote, “A high-powered delegation from both Warri kingdom and Uvwie kingdom of Delta State led by Prince Yemi Emiko and Efe Ofobruku left the state and arrived at Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo to seek the whereabouts of their son Akro Alex Chamuke.

“Others in the delegation are Alex Eyengho, Clem Onotoye amongst others. Justice is all we seek, nothing but justice.”

In one of the videos, Otuedon explained that they came to the school to meet the university’s authority and then went to the mortuary to know the next line of action.

Another video revealed when the delegates went to the scene of the incident where Alex was beaten.

Explaining what ensued during their visit in pidgin, Otuedon said, in another video, “When we held the meeting, our late prince’s uncle, Uncle Yemi, asked where our prince was living.

“If you see where these children are staying, they are like prisoners. Despite the kind of money paid to the school.”

He further explained that on getting to his residence, they saw that the school had tidied up the deceased residence and arranged his things.

“They went to his residence and mopped the place and kept his things on the floor,” he said.

Otuedon added that they visited the mortuary where the deceased body was kept and discovered that the mortuary was “not working.”

He said, “After we left his residence, where he was beaten to death, we went to the police station. At the police station, we asked for approval to go to the mortuary.

“When we got to the mortuary, there were no other corpses there. Only our prince’s body was there. The mortuary is not working, his body was swollen.”

Elaborating on the condition of the body, he said, “There were injuries all over his head and body. If you saw the body, you would know it wasn’t a small bleed, and they went to clean the house (where he was beaten). They mopped it. Is that not a wicked school?” (The PUNCH)
