The Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State, FUNAAB, has cleared a final-year year student, Oladokun Ayomide, of wilful poisoning of his girlfriend, Ugbokwe Mmasichukwu and her schoolmate, Odumosu Semilore.
Mmasichukwu and Semilore, both students of Federal Government College of Education, Osiele, had fallen sick during their visit to Ayomide’s residence after eating cake he offered them.
In turn, he was arrested for allegedly poisoning his visitors on unknown grounds with investigation launched into the incident while the ladies were hospitalized.
