The Police in Ondo State says it has arrested a landlord and two others for kidnapping and murder of two students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko in the state.
State Commissioner of Police, Mr Adebowale Lawal, made this known on Wednesday in Akure while speaking with newsmen on the recent achievements of the command.
Lawal said that the two victims were 25 years old male, Abah Friday, and his friend, 19 years old female, Okah Eloho.
He also said that the landlord, Oladele Femi, confessed to initiating the plot and aiding in the concealment of the murders.
The CP explained that the arrest was made following 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 said that the petition was written over 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.
