The police chief stated that before the 21-day remand order expired, the families of the accused students applied for bail at Magistrate Court 1 Yaba, and that the application was approved, so the students who were previously remanded at Boys Home, Oregun were granted bail.

“Our findings at the second autopsy include marked pallor of organs, pneumonia (infection of the lungs), infections of the liver and kidneys as well as the heart. These infections emanated from the ankle infection described earlier in the report. Microscopic sections also confirmed these findings.”

Death was caused by Septicaemia following infections of the lungs and kidneys arising from the ankle wound.No evidence of blunt force trauma in this body.The findings in the oesophagus and stomach are not compatible with chemical intoxication. Death in this case is natural.”
