However, Olufogbe protested this act, leading to an exchange of words between the two.
The situation escalated quickly as Olufogbe was said to have picked a blade to inflict bodily injuries on the victim.
The victim was reported to have suffered bloody cuts in her throat, head, and chest.
The school’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof Sunday Fashina, confirmed the incident on Saturday.
He said, “The incident happened outside the campus in a private hostel. Nobody dares that within the campus because they know the rules and regulations. If anyone tries that, it will catch up with them. The police are already handling it.
“The suspect is in police custody, and once it involves the police, we cannot interfere. When they are done with their investigations, they will write to the Vice-Chancellor to give their report, then we conduct our investigation. So, let’s wait for the outcome of the police investigation.”
