killing of one of the students of the Osun State University,
UNIOSUN, Oluwafemi Oluwatimilehin Shonibare, by
suspected ritualists.
In a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information
and Strategy, State of Osun, Mr. Adelani Baderinwa, the
Osun state government condemned the dastardly act and
appealed to the protesting students in the state to keep
calm as the security operatives have arrested those in
connection with the crime.
The statement also said the government commiserates with
both the family of the deceased student and the entire
students of the varsity, wondering how fellow humans can
be so callous as to terminate the life of a fellow human just
for clandestine reasonl.

unfortunate killing of Timilehin Sonibare, a part 4 student of
the Osun State University, UNIOSUN, by some heartless
people in the society.

particular and the entire UNIOSUN community.
“Government also commiserates with the parents and
family members of the deceased young man.
“We condemn in strong terms the wicked and conscience
less manner in which the death of Timilehin was
perpetrated. It is most callous, painful and disheartening
that fellow humans could plan and execute the elimination
of another for self aggrandisement. We note with sadness
that it is one of the unfortunate degeneration of values in
our society whereby people wants to be rich without work.
“Government feels the pain of Timilehin’s death the more in
view of the fact that it came when UNIOSUN is celebrating
its wining the world by the spectacular performance of one
of its own in far away Ukraine.
“Government takes solace in the fact that the security
agencies have gotten hold of some of those who
committed the heinous crime.

effectively with the security agents to see to it that the
offenders are adequately punished.

populace to keep calm, peaceful while they rightfully mourn
their colleague and allow the killers dealt with.

‘Dwarf planet’ discovered in distant Solar System

A rare “dwarf planet” 18 times smaller than Earth, has been discovered in the distant Solar System on an eccentric orbit far beyond Neptune, astronomers said Tuesday. Dubbed RR245, the icy world is currently about 9.7 billion kilometres (six billion miles) from the Sun — 65 times further than Earth, said astronomer Jean- Marc Petit of France’s CNRS research institute. “But its orbit is very elliptical, and it will be 19 billion km at its furthest point” from our star,” he told AFP. At the closest approach on its 700-year orbit, the planet will pass the Sun at a distance of some five billion km. Dwarf planets fall into a six-year-old category of celestial bodies. They are smaller than ordinary planets and orbit the Sun at a much greater distance, travelling in a zone littered with other objects like asteroids. There are thought to be dozens of them in our Solar System, but only a handful have been identified so far. They include Eris and Ceres, as well as Pluto — which was downgraded fr
