A student of the Federal University of Technology Minna, Niger State Oluwaseyi Adebayo has lost his life after falling into a fishpond while hiking with his colleagues.
The 400-level student of the Department of Animal Production at the University was said to have gone bike hiking with some of his colleagues on August 10 when he slipped from a hilltop and landed in a fish pond where he died.
It was learnt that the locals in the area refused to release the corpse of the student to the authorities of the university until some rituals were performed to prevent a similar occurrence from happening to his seven other colleagues.
The FUT authority was said to have refused to comply with the request to perform the ritual until some concerned people saved the situation by paying the required amount and providing a white ram for the sacrifice.
