Her body parts were not removed – FUOYE breaks silence on death of 200L student Modupe

The Management of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), Ekiti state, have broken their silence on the death of 200 level Nursing student Modupe Atanda, stating that the young lady’s corpse was not mutilated as reported.

The Registrar of the University, Mr Mufutau Ibrahim, disclosed this in a statement issued in Oye-Ekiti.

Ibrahim assured parents of the deceased that every person connected to the death of their daughter would be arrested and be made to face the wrath of the law.
