Students at Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA) in Ondo State are deeply concerned about the unexplained disappearance of two 200-level students, Andrel Eloho Okah and John Friday Abba, who have been missing for over two weeks.

Details of the Disappearance

The missing students are:

Despite numerous attempts to contact them and extensive searches both on and off campus, there has been no sign of their whereabouts.

A classmate, Ajibola, expressed the growing anxiety, stating, "They’ve been gone for over two weeks now. We’ve searched everywhere and tried calling, but their phones remain unreachable. No one knows if they’ve been kidnapped or if something else happened. Everyone is worried and tensions are rising.”
