The Kwara State Police Command says it has begun an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the demise of a 21-year-old student of the Kwara State College of Health Technology, Awesu Mojisola.
In a statement released, the spokesperson of the command, DSP Toun Ejire-Adeyemi, said on August 12, 2024, at about 7.30, one Olorunoje of Aleniboro area Ilorin, Kwara State visited the police to report that while he was returning home from the mosque on August 11, a group of labourers informed him that they found the body of an unidentified female dumped in a refuse site near Aleniboro area Ilorin, Kwara State.
Ejire-Adeyemi stated that following this report, a team of detectives was immediately dispatched to the scene. She said upon arrival, the scene was carefully examined and photographed. During the initial investigation, the police spokesperson mentioned that traces of blood were found near the left ear of the deceased who was later identified as Miss Awesu Mojisola.
‘’In a related development, on August 13, 2024, at about 1630 hours, a report of a missing person was filed by Miss Blessing O, a resident of Gbomi’s area, Offa, Kwara State. Miss Blessing reported that her roommate, Miss Awesu Mojisola, a 21-year-old student of Kwara State College of Health Technology, had been missing since August 9, 2024.
According to the report, Miss Mojisola received a phone call on August 9 from one Miss Timileyin, who informed her about an event organized 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 pretense of having her act as his girlfriend for a fee of Fifteen Thousand Naira (#15,000.00).
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. Shortly after this communication, her phone was switched off and all subsequent efforts by Miss Blessing to reach her were unsuccessful.
In light of these developments, the Kwara State Police Command have arrested suspects in connection with the case. Investigation is ongoing, and the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further discreet investigation” Ejire-Adeyemi said
