In a surprising turn of events, the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), has cleared Oladokun Ayomide, a final-year student, of the allegations of poisoning his girlfriend and another lady.
The university’s decision comes after Ayomide was arrested by the Ogun State Police Command on suspicion of administering a poisonous substance to Ugbokwe Mmasichukwu and Odumosu Semilore.
According to a statement issued by FUNAAB’s Assistant Director of the Media Directorate of Public Relations, Olasunkanmi Olajide, the cakes purchased by Ayomide were found to contain a high level of alcohol.
The unintentional intoxication of the consumers resulted from this, and there was no malicious intent on his part, as confirmed by a medical examination conducted at the university’s health center.
The affected individuals were discharged from the hospital the day after the incident and even managed to participate in their examinations on November 10, 2023.
FUNAAB emphasized that he had no ill intentions, and the unintentional intoxication was a result of consuming the cakes with a high alcohol content.
The police also revealed that the student had been released on bail following a settlement reached by the parents of the students involved.
The girl who was allegedly poisoned has since recovered and has been discharged from the hospital.
