A female student of Kwara State College of Health Technology, identified as Mojisola Awesu, 21, who was hired by her friend to cover up as a girlfriend for a student in a private University during a party with an agreed sum of N15,000 has been found in a refuse dump at Aleniboro area of Ilorin, Kwara State,

The Police Public Relations Officer for the state, DSP Toun Ejire-Adeyemi, told The Punch in a statement on Tuesday.

According to Ejire-Adeyemi, a resident of the community reported on August 12, 2024, that a corpse was found by some laborers at a refuse dump in the area, which moved police operatives to visit the scene and recover the body, which was later discovered as Awesu before depositing it at a mortuary.

She further said that on August 13, a report of a missing person was made by one Miss Blessing about her roommate named Mojisola Awesu, who had left home to attend a party organized by students of two private varsities in the state.

Ejire-Adeyemi said, “According to the report, Miss Mojisola received a phone call on August 9, from Miss Timileyin, who informed her about an event organised 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 N15,000.00.

“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.”

The PPRO said after a communication Awesu had with her roommate about the situation of things at the said party, all other efforts to reach the deceased phone number were not successful

She added that investigation is ongoing as some suspects were arrested in connection to the incident for interrogation.

“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 has arrested suspects in connection with the case. An investigation is ongoing, and the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further discreet investigation,” Ejire-Adeyemi stated.
