Ondo varsity female student found dead in uncompleted building

The police have confirmed that the lifeless body of a female 500-level student of the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State, was found around 4:00 a.m. on Monday.
An X user, @YemmieFash, tweeted that the late victim was identified as Modupe Ayandare, popularly known as Com. Modesty, from the Faculty of Agriculture.
Attached to the X user’s post is a video of the late student dressed in a white celestial garment. She was seen on her knees with her head and front body leaning on the wall of an uncompleted building, while a rope tied to a well fetcher, which was also tied to the building, seemed to be around her neck.
“This 500L student of AAUA was found dead this morning in Akungba; she was said to have left a vigil around 4:00 a.m. The circumstances surrounding her death look very suspicious; video and eyewitness accounts show that she did not commit suicide as presumed. I am calling on the @OndopoliceNG to critically investigate this matter, as this looks more like a case of murder. cc: @OfficialDSSNG, Princemoye1,” the user captioned the eight-second long video.
While it is yet to be formally ascertained whether her demise was a suicide or a murder, the Ondo State Police Command confirmed the death.
“The case has been reported at AKUNGBA Division and the command is working on it. Thanks,” the command disclosed.
