Ogun State Police Command yesterday confirmed the arrest of four students of University of Lagos (UNILAG) for allegedly acting suspiciously at the graveside of a colleague, Eniola Jacobs, who died from an intake of a lethal pest control chemical widely known as “Sniper.” The command’s Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who confirmed the arrest to an online news portal, SaharaReporters, said the students acted “suspiciously.”

The arrested persons, identified as Adeboye Timothy, Aramowo Stephen, Awe-Obe Raphael and Iwerima Jacob are said to be members, along with the deceased, of the Cherubim and Seraphim campus fellowship.
“We arrested the students at the graveside when they insisted they wanted to exhume the corpse,” Adejobi said. The PPRO said the action was unacceptable to the parents and also appeared strange to the police. He confirmed that the students arrested are being detained at the Criminal Investigations Department of the Eleweran Division in Abeokuta, Ogun State. Jacobs died Sunday morning at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) while being treated for toxin intake.
