The situation escalated as Olufogbe was said to have picked a razor blade to inflict bodily injuries on different parts of the victim.
The incident was confirmed on Sunday, in a statement issued by the institution’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof Sunday Fashina.
According to the statement released by the Vice-Chancellor, the incident didn’t happen within the institution’s campus, but in a private hostel in the area.
“The incident happened outside the campus in a private hostel. Nobody dares that within the campus because they know the rules and regulations. If anyone tries that, it will catch up with them. The police are already handling it,” he stated.
The VC added that the suspect is already in the police custody, and that, the management of FUOYE will be briefed by police after their investigation.
“The suspect is in police custody, and once it involves the police, we cannot interfere. When they are done with their investigations, they will write to the Vice-Chancellor to give their report, then we conduct our investigation. So, let’s wait for the outcome of police investigation.”
