A student of Kwara State College of Health Technology Mojisola Awesu has been found dead at a refuse dump in the Aleniboro area of Ilorin, Kwara State capital.
The 21-year-old was contracted by her friend to act as a girlfriend for a private varsity student at a party for the sum of N15,000. But she didn’t return home alive.
In a statement on Tuesday, spokesman of Kwara Police Command Toun Ejire-Adeyemi said a resident of the community reported on August 12, 2024, that a body was found by some labourers at a refuse dump in the area, which prompted police operatives to visit the scene and recover the body which was identified as Awesu before depositing it at a morgue.
She added that on August 13, a report of a missing person was made by one Miss Blessing about her roommate Awesu who left home to attend a party reportedly organised by students of two private varsities in the state.
Ejire-Adeyemi narrated further, “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.”
The police spokesperson noted further that after Awesu had communicated with her roommate about the situation of things at the said party she had gone to, her phone was unreachable and every attempt to reach her was unsuccessful.
Ejire-Adeyemi said Blessing was unreachable afterwards.
She added that some suspects have been arrested and the case transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department.
