The coordinator, National Association of Nigerian Students, South West Zone, Josiah Adeyemo, and the management of the Osun State Polytechnic, Iree, Osun State, have called for a thorough probe of the circumstances surrounding the death of a student identified as Ayeni Ademiju.

An initial report said Ademiju was stabbed at the venue of the NANS convention in Osogbo, Osun State, last Saturday, which eventually led to his death.

The deceased was also said to be a student of the Osun State Polytechnic, Iree.

But in separate statements obtained in Osogbo on Monday, the NANS South West coordinator, Adeyemo, said facts available to his office showed that the incident that led to Ademiju’s death did not occur within the premises where the convention was held, while OSPOLY said the deceased, as of the time of death, was not its student.

Adeyemo further said, “The convention was successfully concluded before information concerning the deceased’s condition and subsequent death began reaching participants and officials who had already left or were leaving the venue.
