Alex Timileyin, a 200-level student at Ajayi Crowther University (ACU) in Oyo State, was beaten to death by fellow students over accusations of stealing a mobile phone that was allegedly discovered in his possession. It was later realized that he was a prince in the Uvwie and Warri kingdoms of Delta State. Prince Alex Timileyin was the son of Princess Antonia Emiko, daughter of Olu Erejuwa II (who reigned from 1951 to 1986), and the aunt of the current Olu of Warri. He was also a first cousin to His Majesty, Ogíamè Atuwatsé III CFR, the reigning Olu of Warri Kingdom.
What Really Happened?
Alex was said to have been allegedly caught in the process of stealing an iPhone and there are few other rumors about his death being caused by his refusal to join a cult in the university. It was also said that the phone was retrieved from him but some group of boys ganged up on him, took him to a place called “Shepherd Inn hostel” situated on the school campus where they shaved his head and beat him from 6pm on Friday till 10am on Saturday.
Public Responses
The issue of Jungle justice is an incident that incites significant public outrage. Why couldn’t they report him to school authorities? Weren’t there other students there? Why didn’t anybody alert the security when they heard his screams? How could they be so violent to a fellow human?
