Management of the Federal Polytechnic, Ede, Osun, on Saturday debunked a story which said that two of its students were killed.
The Media and Public Relations Officer of the Polytechnic, Sola Lawal, said this while addressing a press conference at the institution’s premises in Ede.
Lawal said that the two gory pictures of a young man and a lady, purportedly shot dead, are not students of the institution.
He described the story as a mere imagination of the author.

Lawal warned members of the Polytechnic community to desist from any act of misinformation capable of causing avoidable tension in the academic community.
He said the press conference is to allay the fear of parents and guardians and the Polytechnic community at large.
“Since Thursday, the social media has been awash with two gory pictures of a young man and a lady, purportedly shot dead in an unknown place.
“To put the record straight, the said persons in the picture are not bonafide students of the Federal Polytechnic, Ede.
“The report is a figment of imagination of the author, baseless without any iota of truth.
“Members of the Polytechnic community in particular, are hereby warned to desist from peddling unfounded rumour and guard their utterances capable of causing unnecessary tension both within and outside the campus,” he said.
The institution’s spokesman urged the staff and students of the institution to remain calm and avoid unnecessary nocturnal activities while in the town. (NAN)
