A female student of the Federal University, Oye Ekiti (FUOYE) in Ekiti State, Faderera Oloyede, was on Tuesday found dead in an apartment said to belong to her boyfriend, Ayo Maliki, in Osun State, Nigeria.
Miss Oloyede was found inside the room in the Koko area of Iree town in Osun State.
According to reports, the 300-level student of Mathematics Education was said to have gone to her boyfriend’s place in company with her friend identified as Kemisola Adewusi, a student of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife.
According to sources, Maliki had prepared rice for his visitors and while eating the food, Oloyede suddenly developed stomach ache and started vomiting.
