Former Senate President and former governor of Kwara State, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has called for an investigation and prosecution of those respossible for the killing of Blessing Olajide, a 300-level student of the University of Ilorin.
In posts on his social media pages, Saraki said:
“I condemn in the strongest possible terms the rape and killing of Miss Blessing Olajide, a 300-level student of Agricultural Science at the University of Ilorin.
This act, which is evil, disgusting, and despicable in every sense, must be promptly investigated by the police and the school authorities — so that the perpetrators are brought to justice.
“The Kwara State government must work to ensure that this act does not go unpunished — as this will serve as a deterrent in the future and will assuage the fears of young women across our state who want to pursue their education.”
He prayed that the family of the deceased would find the strength that they need at this difficult time as they mourn the passing of their young and promising daughter.
