The perpetrator behind the death of Ifeoluwa Adekunle, a female student at Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA) in Ondo State, was motivated by a desire to acquire the victim’s phone.
This disturbing revelation sheds light on the senseless nature of the crime, which left Adekunle stabbed and abandoned in her off-campus residence earlier this month.”
According to FIJ, it was Adekunle’s friends who raised the alarm on the evening of February 2 when they checked on her following her prolonged absence online.
FIJ gathered that the killer, who is a student living in the same off-campus hostel where Adekunle lived, carried out the act to take ownership of the late student’s smartphone and has now been apprehended.
A source at the school, who does not want to be named, said that he learned that the arrested student confessed to the crime and admitted that it was “because he liked her phone”.
Another source in Ondo said that the killer was the lady’s neighbour.
“He is said to have confessed. He allegedly killed the lady because of her phone. He liked the lady’s phone and killed her in order to steal it,” the source said.
Efforts to get an official confirmation from the state police proved abortive.
