Students from the institution’s law faculty held a candle light procession on Saturday to mourn their colleague.

The Students Union Government expressed sadness over the incident and called for investigation.

Omatseyi was to graduate in a few weeks’ time.

Speaking with the media, a 500-level law student Emeni Fidel said: “Omatseyi was a friend and popular among his colleagues. The circumstances surrounding his death are not known, which is why justice must be done. We want to know the truth about his death.”
