Mojisola Awesu, A 21-year-old student from the Kwara State College of Health Technology, was 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 incident in a statement made available to newsmen on Tuesday.
Ejire-Adeyemi said the discovery was made on August 12, 2024. According to Ejire-Adeyemi, a resident reported the incident to 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 investigation into Awesu’s death revealed a chain of events, noting that on August 13, a missing person report was filed by Miss 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, Miss Timileyin, who introduced her to a Summit University student named Adebayo Happiness who allegedly offered Awesu N15,000 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.
