Ilorin, Kwara State – The Kwara State High Court in Ilorin has remanded seven suspects in connection with the murder of Mojisola Awesu, a student of the State College of Health Technology, Offa. The tragic incident occurred on August 9, 2024.

During the court proceedings on Monday, the judge was unable to take the suspects’ pleas as the two principal accused, Happiness Adebayo and Timileyin Kolawole, lacked legal representation. Presiding Judge, Justice Ibrahim Yusuf, ordered their remand in a correctional facility until their proper arraignment on February 24.
Investigations revealed that Awesu was allegedly lured to Ilorin by Adebayo and Kolawole, where she was murdered, and her body was later dumped at a dumpsite in the city.

In addition to the murder charges, Adebayo’s parents, Adebayo Adeniyi and Bukola Adeniyi, are facing accusations of conspiring to destroy evidence, an offense under the Penal Code Law of Kwara State, 2006.
Three other suspects, Adeoye Adeola, Lawal Aminat, and Peter Bulus, are also charged with conspiring to dispose of Awesu’s corpse at a dumpsite along Wara Road in Ilorin, in violation of the Kwara State Prohibition of Dealing in Human Parts Law, 2018.

Justice Yusuf emphasized the court’s commitment to ensuring that the case proceeds as scheduled to deliver justice. The next hearing is set for February 24.
