A student identified as Prince Alex Timileyin who was beaten to d3ath in Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo State has left his mother in a critical condition in the hospital.
An activist from Itsekiri in the Warri Kingdom, Delta State known as ‘Lord Of Warri’ has reported that Princess Antonia, Alex’s mother is currently hospitalized in a coma, overwhelmed by grief and pain following the loss of her only son.
The activist made this known in a post on X.com on Thursday.
The activist also appealed to the Oyo State government, the Oyo State Police, and Governor Seyi Makinde to ensure that justice is served and those responsible for Alex’s death are held accountable.
He wrote, “Princess Antonia Emiko, mother of the late Prince Alex Timileyin, is in urgent need of your prayers. She lies hospitalized in a coma, overcome with unbearable pain and sorrow.
“The bond between a mother and her child is unbreakable, and her only son’s tragic loss has left her shattered.
“I also appeal to #oyostategovt, #OyoPoliceNG, and His Excellency #seyiamakinde to ensure that justice is served and those responsible for her son’s tragic death are held accountable.
“Let us rally around Princess Antonia with our thoughts and prayers, seeking comfort and strength for her in this darkest hour. May God’s grace and mercy be upon her and her family.”
This development comes after 25 students from Ajayi Crowther University were arraigned in court in connection with Alex’s murder.
Reports say that Timileyi was beaten to death inside a hostel known as Shepherd Inn on the school premises by a group of other students for allegedly stealing a mobile phone.
Meanwhile, Alex’s kinsmen have stormed the premises of Ajayi Crowther University, seeking justice for the slain.
