Christiana Idowu, the student of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State, who was kidnapped between Ikorodu and Yaba in Lagos State has reportedly been murdered by her abductor.
The Student Union Government president of FUNAAB, Ibrahim Adeyemi, in a telephone statement said, “The Union can confirm that she was reportedly killed by her abductor. We will be addressing the matter soon.”
Christiana, who had left her home in the Itaoluwo area of Ikorodu heading to the University of Lagos in the Yaba area of the state where she was observing her industrial training was unreachable for a while.
The abductors had reached out to her family through her telephone on August 26 and demanded a sum of N3m as a ransom before they could release the student.
After several appeals from the family, the abductors agreed that a sum of N350,000 be paid to a certain account, which the family paid, but the abductors refused to release her despite the payment.
But a user, @letter_to_jack revealed in a now-viral post on C that intelligence operatives were able to uncover the location of the abductor through the BVN and account details used in collecting ransom from the family.
“Investigation by intelligence operatives began on the 26th to unravel details of the account number.
“By the 29th, intelligence operatives had confirmation from the bank that the BVN linked to the masked Betting account allegedly belonged to the account owner (name withheld for now) who also operates the Wema Bank (account no withheld for now)
“Further investigation revealed that he was able to withdraw the sum of N100,000 from the betting account before agents got the betting company to lock the account,” the tweet read.
He added: “Armed by this information, operatives began an investigation into the suspect whom they observed to have a mutual relationship with Christiannah Idowu, especially judging by Instagram posts as they both commented on each other’s pages.
“With all this information at hand, the operatives began to track down his cell phone activities and text messages. The cell phone tracking led them to his parent’s house, somewhere in Ikorodu.”
Meanwhile, the family of the student are yet to respond to the development.
