Two 200-level students of the Kwara State University (KWASU) in Malete Moro local government area have been found dead in their hostel room.
The lifeless bodies of Tobiloba Daniel and Arewa Abayomi were found naked, reports The Nation.
They were said to be lovebirds before their mysterious death.
They were writing the ongoing examinations when the incident happened.
A student, who confided in this paper said: “We suspect they are lovers and we became concerned when they were not seen during the ongoing examination in the University and also in their class for three days.
