The Nigeria Police Force on Thursday confirmed the arrest of 23-year-old suspect, Ayomide Adeleye, for the gruesome murder of Idowu Christianah.
The deceased was said to be a 300-level student of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, (FUNAAB), Ogun State, when she was alive.
She was allegedly abducted along the Ikorodu-Yaba Road, Lagos in August by the suspect, a 200-Level Philosophy student of the Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU) in Ogun State.
