The remains of a murdered student of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Timothy Adegoke, has been buried amidst tears.
It has been reported that the 37-year-old Master of Business Administration student died under controversial circumstances.
It was gathered that the remains of Adegoke were brought to the Eruwa Town Hall in a white casket with hundreds of youths in attendance.
The body of the accountant was buried beside the house he built for his parents in the New Eruwa part of Eruwa town. Eruwa is the headquarters of the Ibarapa East Local Government Area of Oyo State, according to The PUNCH.
The funeral service was conducted by Revd. Michael Hungbenu, the founder of Celestial Deliverance Church of Christ, with many family members, friends and beneficiaries of the deceased also in attendance.
It was gathered that the late wife of the slain student, Bolatito, wept uncontrollably, refusing to leave the graveside despite pleas that she should step aside.
Hurling curses on the killers of her husband, Bolatito lamented that the killers did not allow her husband to bury his parents.
Service of tributes was first held at the Eruwa Town Hall where hundreds of youths, members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, and OAU students, among others, had gathered.
It has been reported that the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) is still carrying out investigations into his death, with the owner of the hotel where he died still in detention.
