Lagos may be buzzing with music, parties, and elections, but deep in the heart of Ondo State, a tragic silence has fallen over the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA).
Two 200-level students — Andrel Eloho Okah (History & International Studies) and John Friday Abba (Economics) — who went missing three weeks ago, have now been found dead in a forest along the Ondo–Ekiti border. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

🚨 What Happened to Andrel and John?

While the exact chain of events remains blurry, security sources told TVC News that the duo were likely kidnapped. Their bodies were later discovered in a bush — hidden, decomposed, and discarded like trash in a forest they never should have entered.

A source was quoted saying:

“The two missing AAUA students were killed by suspected abductors, and their bodies have been found where they were hidden.”

Whether they were victims of ritualists, cultists, or ransom-hunting criminals remains under investigation.

💬 AAUA Reacts: A Campus in Mourning

The Student Union Government (SUG) President, Akeem Ologbon, didn’t mince words in his statement:

“This discovery has caused widespread sorrow on campus… We reached out to the anti-kidnapping squad, briefed the Commissioner of Police, and contacted every relevant formation we could.”

Ologbon detailed how the Union escalated the case from day one, involving Akure’s Scorpion Squad, multiple police divisions, and even top-level briefings to the Commissioner.

“We will pursue justice for the deceased with unwavering commitment.”

🔍 What You Need to Know About the Ondo-Ekiti Forest Zone

This isn’t the first time shady things have happened around this corridor. The forest belt near Ikere-Ekiti and the Akoko region has long been a hotspot for abductions, ritual killings, and illegal settlements.

Local vigilante groups have reported strange movement, unexplained disappearances, and motorcycle gangs that patrol the ungoverned backroads near the border.

Why This Matters:

• No checkpoints or surveillance in these isolated bush roads

• No mobile signal in deep-forest zones

• Easy escape routes for kidnappers crossing from state to state

🚨 A Wake-Up Call for Campus Safety

This tragedy is more than a headline. It’s a call for Nigerian universities to wake up.

• AAUA isn’t alone. Similar disappearances have occurred in UniBen, LASU, and FUNAAB in the past.

• Campuses must do more than mourn. Safety alerts, surveillance tech, verified off-campus housing, and student tracking systems should be prioritized.
