BREAKING: Landlord Accused in Ondo Student Murders Dies in Police Custody — AAUA Students Demand Answers

A fresh storm of outrage is sweeping across Ondo State and the Nigerian student community following the shocking news that the landlord accused in the abduction and brutal murd£r of two students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA) has d!ed in police custody.

The yet-to-be-named suspect, believed to have played a key role in the horrifying disappearance and death of the two undergraduates, reportedly died under unclear circumstances while being held by security operatives.

His death has thrown a dark cloud over the investigation and ignited a fierce backlash from students, parents, and civil society groups — all now demanding immediate answers from the police.

The deceased landlord had been arrested in connection with the abduction of the two students, whose lifeless bodies were discovered under tragic and suspicious conditions just days earlier.

The gory details of their disappearance and eventual discovery sent shockwaves across the state, igniting protests and candlelight vigils on the AAUA campus.

Now, with the main suspect dead in custody, students are raising alarm bells over what they describe as a suspicious silence and lack of transparency from the authorities.

“How did he die? What exactly happened in custody? Was he silenced before revealing the full truth?” These are just some of the burning questions dominating campus conversations and social media platforms Friday morning.

Student union leaders have vowed not to let the matter rest. "This is no longer just about our murdered colleagues," one student leader told Busterblog.com. "Now we must find out if justice is being buried alongside the truth. If the man truly had information about the killings, then this is a massive breach of justice. We will not be silent."

The Ondo State Police Command has yet to release an official statement confirming the landlord’s death or explaining the circumstances surrounding it. Human rights activists are also beginning to weigh in, calling for an independent investigation into both the deaths of the students and the mysterious demise of the suspect in custody.

This disturbing twist threatens to not only derail justice for the slain students but also exposes growing concerns about accountability within Nigeria’s policing system, especially in high-profile murder cases.

As tension builds, the AAUA community remains on edge — mourning its dead, demanding justice, and now, fighting against silence.
