It was gathered that residents and locals of the area had refused to release the body to the authorities until a ritual is done to prevent a similar occurrence from happening to his seven other colleagues.

 

The FUT authority was said to have refused to comply with the request to perform the ritual until some concerned people saved the situation by paying the required amount and providing a white ram for the sacrifice

 

When contacted, the university’s spokesperson, Lydia Legbo, denied knowledge of the incident.

 

“The University is not aware of any such incident and cannot comment on it,” Legbo said.
