The Kwara State Police Command is investigating the death of 21-year-old Awesu Mojisola, a student at the Kwara State College of Health Technology.

Her body was discovered on August 11, 2024, at a refuse site near Aleniboro in Ilorin by a local resident returning from the mosque.
Police spokesperson DSP Toun Ejire-Adeyemi confirmed that detectives were sent to the scene, where they found traces of blood near her left ear.

‘’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.
