The Oyo State Police Command has commenced investigation into a suspected case of murder following the discovery of the body of an unidentified teenage boy at the swimming pool of the University of Ibadan.

A statement by the Public Relations Officer DSP Olayinka Ayanlade says the institution’s Chief Security Officer reported that a body was sighted in the pool.

Detectives who visited the scene observed blood oozing from the victim’s mouth and nose, with bruises around the nose and blood stains within the pavilion area.

Items suspected to belong to the deceased, including shoes and a shirt, were recovered near the poolside.

However, Preliminary findings by the institution suggest the victim, believed to be between 14 and 15 years old and not a student of the university, may have gained access to the facility by climbing over the fence after closing hours.

The body was later taken to Adeoyo General Hospital where he was confirmed dead and deposited at the mortuary.
