The authority of Kwara state Polytechnic, Ilorin, Thursday, said the two suspected killers of a Kwara hotelier paraded by the force headquarters of the Nigeria Police Force were not students of the polytechnic.
The management of the institution in a statement by the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the polytechnic, Halima Garba, on behalf of the registrar, said the two suspects withdrew from school in their first year due to poor academic performance.
The statement reads: “The attention of the polytechnic authority has been drawn to a trending story and a video clip in which two ladies (Joseph Joy Adama and Vandora Davies Oreoluwa) named in the alleged murder of a hotelier in Ilorin were erroneously identified as students of the Kwara State Polytechnic.
“Our database checks showed that the two ladies had since withdrawn from the school after their first year
on account of poor academic performances. They have therefore ceased being students of our great institution.
“The polytechnic management states categorically that its students are good ambassadors of the institution, the state, and Nigeria at large, and will not be involved in shameful or criminal acts of any kind.
“We urge our media friends to always check with us anything that concerns our great institution,” the statement reads.
