He, however, told journalists when questioned that he knew nothing of about the murder of Ifeoluwa.
The Police Commissioner said: “The command within few days of my arrival has had its fair share of security related challenges and my men have been able to crack some of these cases via intelligence led policing to ensure crime does not have a free day in the state.
“One of the few achievements we want to showcase is the arrest of a murder suspect involved in the killing of a student of AAUA.
“On 2nd of February, 2024, a case of suspected murder was reported to the Police that one Adekunle Adebisi Ifeoluwa ‘F’ aged 20yrs, a 300level student of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko was found in a pool of blood at her off campus hostel and was rushed to the university health centre and later referred to a Specialists Hospital in Ikare-Akoko where she was confirmed dead.
“In the course of investigation, the police discovered that the deceased phone was missing.
“The police through the use of modern technology traced the phone to one Olubodun Sanni ‘m’ aged 21yrs, a final year student of the same school who is also a neighbour to the deceased in the hostel.
“The recovered phone led to further questioning of the suspect who gave details of what happened in his confessional statement, how he entered the deceased room, stabbed her on the chest with knife and he stole her iPhone XR.
“Suspect would be charged to court at the end of investigation.”…..CONTINUE READING>>>>>>
