The Nigerian Army has confirmed the arrest of one Adeleye Ayomide, as the suspect responsible for the d3ath of a 300-level student of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Idowu Christiana.

The deceased was abducted by suspected kidnappers along the Ikorodu-Yaba Road, Lagos State, on Monday, August 19, 2024.

A family source who spoke with Punch Metro on condition of anonymity earlier disclosed that the abductors initially demanded a ransom of N3 million before they could release the student.

However, after several pleas, the abductors accepted N350,000 which was sent to their account but they refused to free the kidnapped student.

When contacted on Thursday, the spokesperson, 81 Division Nigerian Army, Lt-Col. Olabisi Ayeni confirmed Ayomide’s arrest via a telephone interview.

Ayeni said the suspect was arrested by men of the 174 Battalion, saying, “Yes. I am aware about the issue. We arrested him and the 9 Brigade Nigerian Army will be handing him over to the Lagos State Police Command today, so you can liaise with them for further information.”
