The Ekiti police command has arrested a 300-level student of the Federal University, Oye Ekiti (FUOYE) in the state, Rachael Olufogbe, for allegedly slashing a fellow student with a razor blade during a heated argument.
It was gathered that the incident happened in a private hostel located in Oye Egbo, a community outside the school premises, on Saturday, June 22, 2024.
According to Punch, Olufogbe and the victim disagreed with the right of the drying line in the hostel.
The victim shifted Rachael’s clothes on the line to accommodate hers to be spread too.
However, Olufogbe got furious, and it led to a heated argument between the duo.
The situation escalated quickly as Olufogbe was said to have picked up a blade to inflict bodily injuries on the victim.
The school’s vice chancellor, Prof. Sunday Fashina, confirmed the incident to the publication on Saturday. “The incident happened outside the campus in a private hostel.
“Nobody dares that within the campus because they know the rules and regulations.
“If anyone tries that, it will catch up with them.
“The police are already handling it,” he stated.
“The suspect is in police custody, and once it involves the police, we cannot interfere.
