Suspected killer of abducted FUNAAB student in police custody

The Lagos State Police Command now has custody of one Adeleye Ayomide, who is accused of killing a 300-level student of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta in Ogun State, Idowu Christiana.

The police received the 23-year-old from the Nigerian Army on Thursday.

This was confirmed by the command’s PRO, Benjamin Hundeyin, on his X handle.

“23-year-old Ayomide Adeleye has been handed over to #LagosPoliceNG by 9 Brigade #HQNigerianArmy. The handover took place today, September 5, 2024, at about 1400hrs. Investigation is ongoing,” Hundeyin wrote.

Christiana was abducted along the Ikorodu-Yaba Road in Lagos State, on Monday, August 19, 2024.

The abductors initially demanded N3 million as ransom, before they could release the student.

However, after much pleas, they accepted N350,000, but refused to free the kidnapped student.
