    The police in Ondo State have announced the arrest of a landlord and two others for the kidnapping and murder of two students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, in the state.

    Mr Adebowale Lawal, the State Commissioner of Police, stated this on Wednesday in Akure while addressing reporters about the command’s recent achievements.

    Lawal identified the two victims as Abah Friday, a 25-year-old male, and his buddy, Okah Eloho, a 19-year-old female.

    He also claimed that the landlord, Oladele Femi, confessed to originating the scheme and assisting in the concealing of the murders.

    The CP explained that the arrest was made in response to a petition dated June 24, 2025, submitted by G.O. Omoedu & Co., Legal Practitioners, on behalf of one Mr. Emmanuel Peter of Shagari Village, Akure, Ondo State.

    Lawal stated that the petition was filed in response to the abduction of Peter’s younger brother, Friday, and his friend, Eloho, who went missing on June 20, 2025.

    “Upon receipt of the complaint, detectives from anti-kidnapping swung into action and launched an intensive investigation into the reported abduction. Forensic tracking led investigators to Computer Village, Ikeja, Lagos, where an iPhone 14 Pro Max belonging to one of the victims (Friday) was recovered from one Abdul Mohammed Mubarak, 38.

    “Mubarak confessed to purchasing the phone from one Ojo Michael, whose arrest was subsequently effected in Aramoko-Ekiti, while a Lexus RX 350 vehicle belonging to the victims was also recovered at the point of arrest.

    “During interrogation, Michael confessed to participating in the robbery, abduction, and eventual murder of the victims. Michael further disclosed that the operation was masterminded by one Oladele Femi ‘m’—the landlord of the male victim.

    “Femi allegedly engaged Micheal and another accomplice (identified as ‘Kola’, currently at large) to carry out the crime. Investigations revealed that the sum of N800,000 was transferred from the victim’s (Friday) account during their captivity,” he said.

    Lawal, who explained that Michael admitted raping the female victim after recognising him and revealing his identity, claimed the suspect killed the girl and her companion (Friday) to prevent them from exposing him.

    The CP stated that Michael and his accomplice (Kola) disposed of the victims’ bodies in separate sites between Agbado and Ode-Ekiti in Ekiti State.

    “Further investigation led to the arrest of Oladele Femi, who, during confrontation, confessed to initiating the plot and aiding in the concealment of the murders.

    “Acting on this confession, detectives recovered the body of the female victim in a bush near Ode-Ekiti, and it has since been deposited at the General Hospital Mortuary for autopsy.

    “Efforts are ongoing to recover the remains of the male victim, who is believed to have been dumped in a river by an accomplice still at large. This case stands as a tragic reminder of the brutality of premeditated crimes and the devastating consequences of betrayal and greed.

    “The victims—young, promising undergraduates—were senselessly raped and murdered in cold blood,” he said.

    Lawal told the public that efforts were continuing to apprehend the remaining suspect, retrieve Abah John’s remains, and bring all responsible parties to justice.
