This has raised particular concern, as they are known for their regular attendance at classes and academic activities.<\/p>\n<p>According to a fellow student, who identified himself as Ajibola, the two students have not been seen on campus for the past two weeks, behaviour he described as highly unusual, hence the growing anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cWe don\u2019t even know if it is a case of kidnapping or something else. The two of them are very close, though. But efforts to reach them through their phones have repeatedly failed. Their sudden disappearance is giving us concerns. The students\u2019 community is already worried and also agitated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Expressing frustration over what he described as a lack of urgency from the relevant authorities, Ajibola noted that, although the matter had been reported to both the university management and the police, no concrete action had yet been taken.<\/p>\n<p>When contacted, the spokesperson for the institution, Mr Victor Akinpelumi, stated that the police had already been informed of the development by the university.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the spokesperson for the state police command, Olayinka Ayanlade, confirmed that the matter had been reported and was under investigation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
