Seven Arrested in Alleged Murder of Kwara Health College Graduate

Date: 2024-08-31

As reported by The Punch, the Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Victor Olaiya, has announced the arrest of seven suspects in connection with the alleged murder of Mojisola Awesu, a 21-year-old graduate of the Kwara State College of Health Technology.

Mojisola was reportedly invited to Ilorin, the state capital, by Adebayo Happiness, a dismissed student of Summit University, Offa. She was allegedly hired to act as his girlfriend at a party for a fee of N15,000. Tragically, Mojisola was found murdered in the hotel where she had been lodged on Friday, August 9, 2024.

During the parade of some suspects at the police headquarters in Ilorin on Friday, Olaiya said seven suspects had been arrested in connection with the alleged murder.

The police boss said, “Those arrested included the prime suspect, Adebayo Happiness, his parents, Pastor Adebayo Adeniyi and his wife, Mrs Bukola Adeniyi; Miss Kolawola Timileyin who linked the deceased with the prime suspect as well as three workers of the hotel where she was lodged and gruesomely killed.

“The hotel workers arrested included Adeoye Adeola, Lawal Amina and Bulus Peter.”

According to the police boss, after the murder was committed, the suspect “returned to Offa and concealed the stolen phone in his hostel wardrobe. Through careful and discreet investigation, Mr and Mrs Adebayo Adeniyi, the suspect's parents, were apprehended.

“Following their son's arrest, they attempted to tamper with evidence by retrieving Adebayo Joshua Happiness' belongings from his school. It was discovered that Mrs Adeniyi Bukola had removed the SIM card from the deceased's iPhone and concealed it within a wall some distance from their residence.

“Contrary to Adebayo Joshua Happiness' initial claim that he had discarded the phone into the Afelele River, Offa, both the iPhone and SIM card were recovered from his parents' possession.

“After further investigation, it was discovered that the hotel staff on duty found the deceased's body in the room and unlawfully disposed of her body at the refuse dump.”

The CP said that upon completion of the investigation, the suspects would be “duly charged to court to face the full extent of the law.

“We assure the public that the Kwara State Police Command remains committed to ensuring justice and maintaining peace and security within the community. Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.”
