But because of his critical condition, the school medical centre referred him to the General Hospital, Ijebu Odẹ from where he was also referred to the Babcock University Teaching Hospital. It was on the way to the Babcock Hospital that Fabiyi gave up the ghost.
Against the narrative that Fabiyi was also shot, “There was no gunshot,” Mrs Odubela Ayotunde told newsmen. “The student was actually carried out of the examination hall as if they were celebrating because today was actually his birthday. That did not make people to feel that there was anything happening. They took him out of the hall and it was later they started dragging him to the technical workshop. That was when the school security unit was contacted but by the time they would get to the place of the incident, he was already beaten and macheted. So, when they saw the security men coming, they dropped him and left.
