The development was disclosed in a statement issued on Sunday night by the command’s spokesperson, Abimbola Adebisi.
According to the statement, the police commissioner, accompanied by senior officers, conducted an on-the-spot assessment of the accident scene as part of ongoing investigations.
During the visit, the police team also interacted with representatives of the university’s Students’ Union, addressing their concerns over the incident.
Adebisi noted that Tijani commended the students for maintaining calm and demonstrating restraint despite the emotional impact of losing one of their colleagues.
She added that the commissioner assured the students that the driver involved in the incident would be arraigned in court on Monday to face prosecution.
The spokesperson reiterated the command’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and the protection of lives across the state.
She also extended condolences to the family of the deceased and prayed for the repose of her soul.
The visit follows the death of a 300-level student, Azeezat Abdul-Rasheed, who was fatally struck by a vehicle at about 7:00 p.m. on Saturday in the Igando area of Lagos.
In reaction to the incident, a video shared on X by a student identified as @Khennybass showed a group of students protesting at the Area M Police Division in Idimu.
The students alleged that officers were attempting to shield the driver involved in the crash and called for justice for their late colleague.
