The Kwara State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of suspects linked to the murder of Miss Awesu Mojisola, a 21-year-old student at Kwara State College of Health Technology.
Miss Mojisola’s body was discovered on a refuse dump near the Aleniboro area of Ilorin, Kwara State.
It was gathered that 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.
Confirming the arrest of the suspects, the Kwara Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Toun Ejire-Adeyemi, stated in a statement on Tuesday that one Miss Timileyin had introduced Mojisola to Mr. Adebayo Happiness, a student of Summit University.
The spokesperson reported that Happiness allegedly invited the deceased to a night party under the pretence of having her act as his girlfriend for a fee of N15,000.
