Joseph Omoniyi
The Lagos State Police Command has revealed that two suspects are currently being interrogated in connection to the murder of a University of Lagos (UNILAG) graduate and House Officer at Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Stephen Urueye.
Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the state command, Elkana Bala, who confirmed the report to SaharaReporters on Friday, said two arrests had been made and the suspects under interrogation.
Urueye had been stabbed to death on Thursday night right in front of the LUTH gate at Idi-Araba, Lagos, barely 6 hours after his convocation.
Students of UNILAG protested the death of Urueye, who participated in the varsity’s convocation ceremony only on Wednesday.
The protesting students said Idi-Araba Road is notorious for habitual robberies and killings by hitmen.
“We want the Police to do something about it,” one of them told SaharaReporters. “We are doctors, saving lives. It can’t be that our own lives are not safe.”
