According to the university’s public relations officer, Abiodun Olarewaju, Oseghale had gone out to buy food in front of the students’ village but failed to return on time. Her roommate reported her missing after several failed attempts to reach her on the phone.

The university’s Security Unit began tracking discussions on a students’ social media platform after receiving the report and later detailed three personnel to lead the students in the search. The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Simeon Bamire, commended the students for their proactiveness in reporting the missing student and appealed to the police and other security agencies to help find Oseghale.
