A senior lecturer at Kogi State University, Dr. Olabode Abimbola Ibikunle, died during a suspected sexual encounter with a 22-year-old student at a hotel in Anyigba, prompting a police investigation into the incident.
A tragic incident occurred on July 15, 2025, in Anyigba, Kogi State, where Dr. Olabode Abimbola Ibikunle, a senior lecturer at Kogi State University, died during a suspected sexual encounter with a 22-year-old, second-year student identified as Gloria Samuel.
The event took place at a local hotel, where the student reportedly rushed to the reception to seek help after the lecturer collapsed. The hotel manager, Moses Friday, immediately contacted the police. The student was later taken into custody and transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further questioning.
