This was made known in a statement released on Sunday night by the police command’s spokesperson, Abimbola Adebisi.
According to the statement, Tijani, alongside senior officers, carried out an on-the-spot assessment of the crash location as part of ongoing investigations.
During the visit, the police delegation also engaged with members of the university’s Students’ Union, addressing their concerns over the tragic incident.
Adebisi stated that the commissioner praised the students for remaining calm and exercising restraint despite the loss of their colleague.

The spokesperson reaffirmed the command’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and the safety of lives in the state.

Following the incident, a video shared on X by a student identified as @Khennybass captured a group of students protesting at the Area M Police Division in Idimu.
The protesting students accused the police of trying to protect the driver involved in the accident and demanded justice for their fallen colleague.
