A 21-year-old student from the Kwara State College of Health Technology, Mojisola Awesu, has been found dead at a refuse dump in the Aleniboro area of Ilorin.
The Kwara State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Toun Ejire-Adeyemi, confirmed the unfortunate incident in a statement made available to newsmen on Tuesday.
Ejire-Adeyemi disclosed that the discovery was made on August 12, 2024.
A resident had alerted the police, prompting operatives to visit the scene and recover the remains.
The body was subsequently identified as that of one Awesu and was taken to a morgue.
The police PRO stated that the investigation into Awesu’s death revealed a chain of events, noting that on August 13, a missing person report was filed by one Blessing, who identified herself as Awesu’s roommate.
In the report, Awesu had left home on August 9 to attend a party allegedly organized by students from two private universities in the state, Summit University and Al-Hikmah University.
The police spokesperson further explained that Awesu had been contacted by her friend, Timileyin, who introduced her to a Summit University student named Adebayo Happiness who allegedly offered Awesu ₦15,000 to attend the party pretending to be his girlfriend.
However, upon arriving in Ilorin, Awesu reportedly felt uneasy about the hotel she was lodged in by Happiness and also noticed that no party was taking place at the location.
The PPRO noted that Awesu’s last communication was with her roommate, where she expressed her discomfort with the situation.
Shortly after, her phone became unreachable, and all attempts by her roommate to contact her proved futile.
Ejire-Adeyemi said, “According to the report, Miss Mojisola received a phone call on August 9, from Miss Timileyin, who informed her about an event organised by students of Summit University and Al-Hikmah University in Ilorin.
“Miss Timileyin introduced Mojisola to one Mr Adebayo Happiness, a student of Summit University, who allegedly invited her to the night party under the pretence of having her act as his girlfriend for a fee of N15,000.00.
“Upon her arrival in Ilorin, Miss Mojisola informed her roommate that she felt uncomfortable in the hotel she was lodged by Adebayo Happiness and noted that there was no party at the said location.”
Following the revelations, the Kwara State Police Command launched an investigation into the incident.
Ejire-Adeyemi confirmed that several suspects have been arrested in connection with the case, and the investigation has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further examination.
