Two students of Kwara State University (KWASU), identified as Tobiloba Daniel and Arewa Abayomi, were found dead at their hostel in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.
It was learnt that the deceased were both 200-Level students and were writing the school’s ongoing examinations.
The Kwara State Police Command spokesperson, SP Ajayi Okasanmi, who confirmed the incident in a statement, said the police were alerted to the incident.
“Our officers pulled down the door and they were taken to the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH) for autopsy. Investigation into the matter is ongoing,” he said.
A student of the institution, who spoke to newsmen on condition of anonymity, said: “We suspect they were lovers and became concerned when they were not seen during an examination and for three days.
“It was when some of their friends got to their hostel room outside the school that they found them dead and naked. We suspect it’s a case of poisoning.”
