Investigation Underway: OOU Student Confesses to Murder

In a chilling confession on Sunday, September 22, Ayomide Adeleye, a 23-year-old philosophy student at Olabisi Onabanjo University, admitted to the murder of 18-year-old Christiana Idowu, a member of his church, citing financial difficulties as his motive.

The incident occurred at his residence on Monday, August 19, where he lured Idowu under the guise of helping her repair her phone.

Adeleye was apprehended by the police after tracing his SportyBet account, where he had uploaded his National Identification Number (NIN), leading to his capture.

The culprit who is now in custody at the Lagos State Police Command, described how he strangled Idowu, before burying her body in a shallow grave behind his home. He went further by extorting 360,000 naira from the victim’s mother by falsely claiming she had been kidnapped.

“I regret that I killed her…I don’t deserve any mercy for what I have done”, he stated remorsefully.

He also revealed to contemplating suicide while in custody.

Warri Sentinel understands the case is currently under investigation as authorities continue to gather adequate evidence.

Idowu was an Industrial Training student at Yaba College of Technology before her demise.
