Adeleke disclosed that the deceased was an administrative staff of the polytechnic and not a lecturer.

Also, the Public Relation Officer of the polytechnic, Manfred Oyibode confirmed the death, but quickly added that police were  already “handling the matter. It will not be wise for me to make categorical statement on it now.

“He was not kill in the school premises. The news that filters in, says the young man was just coming out from the place when he was attacked and shot. He is not a lecturer but a non-teaching staff”, he said.
