Oye Ekiti, Ekiti state - A 300-level student at Federal University, Oye Ekiti, Rachael Olufogbe, has been taken into police custody for physically attacking a fellow student on Saturday.

The incident reportedly took place at a private hostel in Oye Egbo, a community outside the university campus, following an argument between Olufogbe and another female resident over the use of the hostel's clothes drying line.

According to sources, the victim had moved Olufogbe’s clothes to make space for her own, which led to a verbal altercation. The conflict quickly escalated when Olufogbe allegedly picked up a blade and attacked the victim, causing bodily injuries.
