We got the information when we discovered she didn’t attend class and some of her friends were posting some information about her online.
“The student affairs officer tried to ask her friends some questions and that was how we were able to know the chief security officer, in conjunction with the student affairs officer, commenced their investigation. The report was what we used in informing the police and the DSS,” Adesoji added.
