Lagos State University (LASU) has called for swift justice in the alleged killing of Adedamola Ogunbode, a recent graduate of the institution, by a prophet in the Ojo area of Lagos State, Nigeria.
Ogunbode, fondly known as Horlar, was a 2024 graduate of Political Science Education and was declared missing on January 16, 2025. His body was later found buried in the compound of a church in the area, allegedly killed for ritual purposes. The pastor of the church has been arrested and is currently assisting the police with their investigation.
The university management, in a statement released on Tuesday, expressed deep sadness over the tragic incident and offered condolences to Ogunbode’s family, friends, and colleagues. They condemned the act of violence, calling it unacceptable and demanding that those responsible face justice.
The statement urged the university community to remain calm while authorities conduct their investigations and encouraged everyone to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities.
