An unidentified male student from Ajayi Crowther University in Oyo, Oyo State, was allegedly beaten to death by a group of fellow students. Legit.ng reports that the tragic incident occurred inside the Shepherd Inn hostel on the university campus. According to an anonymous eyewitness, the deceased was accused of stealing a mobile phone. The students also allegedly forced the victim to have his hair shaved after he was caught with the stolen phone. The beating reportedly began at 6 pm on Friday, May 24, and continued until around 10 am on Saturday, May 25.
"They said they caught him with a stolen phone. They started beating him from 6 pm yesterday (Friday) until he died at about 10 am today (Saturday). The incident happened at ‘Shepherd Inn.’ It’s like a lodge or a hostel now. They also shaved the hair of the guy before beating him," the source told The Punch.

"Contrary to what is trending, the university affirms that there is no cultism in the institution, just as the university has zero tolerance for any sort of anti-societal vices and misconduct. It is important to stress that the expelled students do not belong to any cult group," Atoyebi said.
