The ordeals of former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu in the United Kingdom and the recent arrest and prosecution of controversial singer, Habeeb Okikiola popularly known as Portable were referenced in examination questions at the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN).
The questions were set by the Department of Criminology and Security Studies of the Faculty of Social Sciences in the course titled Interrogation Confession and Testimony.
It was part of their courses for the Harmattan Semester Examination, 2021/2022 session.
It will be recalled that the Nigerian politician was sentenced to nine years and eight months in prison last week for an organ harvesting plot in the United Kingdom, the UK.
In one of the examination questions, the students were asked to state the types of confession made by the victim and mention the predisposing factors that led to the confession and features of the UK police that assisted in the arrest and prosecution of the lawmaker.
The lecturer in charge of the course also asked questions about Portable’s case, who was arrested by the police in March.
Based on the singer’s ordeal, the examiner demanded that the students should discuss four types of criminal profiling, the procedures for obtaining individual characteristics and the relationships between the personality of the offender and his job.
