The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, SP Folasade Odoro, confirmed that the driver was eventually apprehended and that he is currently in Police net.

“I can confirm to you that the driver has been apprehended and detained. Necessary investigation would be carried out and appropriate steps would be taken,” Odoro said.

It was learnt that the late medical student was one of the best students in his department and very active in church programmes on the campus.

When other students, especially those of the College of Health Sciences heard about the death of Olorunfemi, they were devastated and the Christian community at the university was also thrown into mourning.
