Adeola, Osun State Polytechnic student beaten to death, father seek justice

Rev. Adekunle Balogun-Arogunjo, the father of slain Diploma II student, Osun State Polytechnic, Iree, has asked government to ensure the killers of his son, Adeola, are brought to justice.

Balogun-Arogunjo, who spoke in Osogbo on Monday, however, thanked the school’s authorities for “ensuring the arrest of the killers.”

He added, “The case is now with the police; all I plead for is justice. How can cadets, who are supposed to ensure peace and tranquillity in the institution, turn into killers?

“If my son was guilty of any offence, he should have been arrested, prosecuted and not beaten to death. There’s punishment for every offence in the country.”

Also, the father of another Mass Communication ND student, Pastor Abiodun Morakinyo, whose son, Oladayo, is still lying critically ill in an undisclosed hospital in Ondo town – after being beaten along with Adeola by the cadets – has called for justice.
