The Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, has cleared Oladokun Ayomide, a final-year student of the school, over the allegation of poisoning his girlfriend and another lady.
Recall that the Ogun State Police Command arrested Ayomide on suspicion of poisoning Ugbokwe Mmasichukwu and another lady, named Odumosu Semilore.
The police alleged that the suspect administered a poison believed to be an admixture of brownie cakes, alcohol, and an unknown harmful substance after inviting his girlfriend to his residence in the Surulere community in the Camp area of the city last Friday.
However, in a statement issued by the Assistant Director of the Media Directorate of Public Relations at FUNAAB, Olasunkanmi Olajide, on Thursday, the cakes purchased by Ayomide “contained a high level of alcohol. This led to the unintentional intoxication of the consumers.
“Ayomide had no malicious intent, as confirmed by the medical examination at their institution’s health centre. The affected individuals were discharged from the hospital the following day and even participated in their examinations on November 10, 2023.
“The affected individuals were discharged from the hospital,” the school stated.
The police also disclosed that the student had been released on bail following a settlement by the parents of the students.
“He (Ayomide) is entitled to bail. The girl has recovered, and she has also been discharged from the hospital. The parents have settled,” she disclosed via a WhatsApp message.
