Up to 11 students of the Lagos State University have being made to answer for their alleged involvement in the cause of death of their colleague.
The Lagos State University (LASU) has suspended 11 students over the death of Omolara Gbadeyan, a 200-Level student of Industrial Relations and Personnel Management, at a party two weeks ago.
