A 21-year-old student of Kwara State College of Health Technology, Offa, identified as Mojisola Awesu has been reportedly killed by suspected ritualists in Ilorin, the state capital.
LEADERSHIP gathered that the corpse of the victim who had been declared missing since August 9, 2024 was found at a refuse dump site at Aleniboro area of Ilorin metropolis.
One Mr Olorunoje was said to have raised the alarm on discovering Mojisola ‘s corpse at the refuse dump site when he was returning from mosque to his house at Aleniboro area on August 12, 2024 at about 7:30am.

Timileyin was said to have introduced Mojisola to one Mr. Adebayo Happiness, a student of Summit University, Offa, who allegedly invited her to the night party under the pretence of having her act as his girlfriend for a fee of N15,000.
It was gathered that Mojisola informed her roommate, one Miss Blessing that she felt uncomfortable in the hotel she was lodged by Mr Adebayo Happiness after realising that there was no party at the said location and shortly after this communication her phone was switched off and all subsequent efforts by Miss Blessing to reach her were unsuccessful.
