A 23-year-old philosophy student at Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ayomide Adeleye, has revealed the chilling details behind the murder of an 18-year-old female church member, Christiana Idowu.
According to a Vanguard report on Sunday, Adeleye, now in custody at the Lagos State Police Command Tactical Unit in Ikeja, admitted to killing Idowu due to financial difficulties.
“I killed her because I had financial problems,” he stated, describing how he lured the victim to his home under the pretence of repairing her phone.
The incident occurred when Idowu, an Industrial Training student at Yaba College of Technology, visited Adeleye’s residence.
“She came to our house around 5pm on the day of the incident and asked me to repair her phone,” Adeleye recounted.
He then detailed the horrific moment of the murder, stating, “I just grabbed her, applied pressure. She started struggling. She didn’t really shout because I already suppressed her. I then squeezed her throat, and she gave up.”
Following the murder, Adeleye embarked on a macabre plan to dispose of the body and extort money from the victim’s mother.
