A security expert and former acting provost of Kwara State College of Education, Ilorin, Dr Jimoh Ahmed-Ayinla, has described murder, a crime against a fellow human being, as ungodly and barbaric. 

NAN reports that Hafsat Lawal, who was allegedly murdered by one Alfa AbdulRahman Bello, was a final-year NCE student of the college.

 Ahmed-Ayinla, while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Ilorin, in reaction to the murder, said the act was not only a barbaric behaviour, but also the highest form of wickedness.

 The former acting provost, who is a security expert and founder of Amina Group of Schools in llorin, called on the law enforcement agency to fully investigate the case.

 He said, “The security agents must waste no time in bringing the other culprits who assisted in perpetrating the dastardly act to book.”

 Ahmed-Ayinla appealed to parents and guardians to expose their wards to the public when they are suspected of keeping bad peer groups and practicing evil acts.

 The security expert commended the Nigeria Police for prompt action after the report was lodged, which led to the arrest of Bello.

 The former provost called on the judiciary to diligently handle the case, reminding those handling the case that “justice delayed is justice denied.”

 He also appealed to the Kwara state government to do the needful after the outcome of the trial, to serve as a deterrent to others.

 The security expert sympathised with the parents of the victim, and urged them “to hold strong faith in God and accept the incident as an act of God.”

 “I pray for the repose of the soul of late Hafsa Lawal, whose life was cut short.

 “Students should always report their movements to their parents and peers, especially when they have cause to leave the college premises or respond to calls,” he advised. (NAN)
