The Ondo State Police Command has confirmed the gruesome murder of Mr. Ezekiel Imoleayo Adeniran, Registrar of the University of Medical Sciences, Ondo (UNIMED).

Police Public Relations Officer, Olusola Ayanlade, revealed the incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday, July 17, and was reported at the Fanibi Division in Akure.

“I can confirm to you that the man was killed. From the information I have at my disposal, two men came out of the bush, and they forced a substance into another person’s mouth. Meanwhile, I cannot confirm to you that the substance was poisonous; an autopsy will do that,” Ayanlade said.
