A 100-level student of Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) Atanda Modupe Deborah, went missing on September 4, 2023, after she went to study in the class that night. Her roommates raised the alarm when she did not return from her night reading session.

Tragically, her body was discovered buried in a shallow grave behind her faculty on September 6, with her eyes reportedly plucked out.

The university’s Registrar, Mufutau Ibrahim, issued a statement ordering all students to vacate the campuses. The university management also deployed armed security personnel for patrol, surveillance, and security purposes, and they made several arrests in connection with the case.

The university assured the community that a thorough investigation would be conducted to bring the culprits to justice. A new resumption date for all students would be communicated later.

“The University Management has received a report on the case of Ms Modupe Deborah Atanda who was reported missing as at Wednesday, 6th September 2023; and Management is saddened at the current turn of events,” the statement read.
