The human mind is filled with wickedness and the rate of crime is increasing daily. Adeleye Ayomide, a 200L Philosophy student at Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ogun State, has confessed to killing Christiana Idowu, a 300 Level student at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB).
His confession to the Nigerian Army’s 174 Battalion ended the two-week-long hunt for the girl who vanished on August 19 while traveling from Ita Oluwo to the University of Lagos in Yaba, where she was receiving industrial training.
He claims to be a phone repairer and also denies knowing of her kidnapping. He said he didn’t ask any questions and that he was given the phone by unidentified people to fix. He admitted to killing her on the day she vanished just less than twenty-four hours later.
Here Is How It All Happened
Christiana Idowu and Adeleye knew each other as they both schooled in Ogun State, were members of the same church, and lived in the same Ita Oluwo neighborhood.
“On that Sunday, the girl who normally goes to UNILAG on weekends to return home on Friday left her house as usual. While on her way, it began to rain, so she took cover in Ayomide (Adeleye)’s family’s shop which was just outside his house.
“The boy narrated everything in custody. She only wanted to stay out there for a while and head back to her destination, but he invited her into his house when the rainfall became intense.”
While in his house, Adeleye attempted to take advantage of her but she resisted. He then killed her.
At 8:50 pm on the same day, using Idowu’s phone, he texted her mother via WhatsApp. His text messages read, “Hello Madam, you have such a beautiful daughter. How much are you willing to pay to see her again? We have her in our custody.”
What began as a young lady seeking shelter in a friend’s shop turned into a homicide and then a staged abduction with a ransom demand.

A detailed report from trusted sources:
On the 19th of August 2024, Christiana Idowu was declared missing after her parents were contacted by her abductors using her own WhatsApp contact. The first contact with the parent was established around 8:49 pm after which they sent photos of the victim in captivity to them using the WhatsApp ‘view once’ feature.
The abductors requested a ransom fee of N1,500,000. Christiana’s parents raised N350,000 immediately. The abductor then requested that the money be sent to a bet account through a bank deposit channel. (Info reserved for now)
After receiving the money, on the 22nd of August, the abductor requested that the bank statement of the sender be forwarded to his email (withheld).
On the 23rd of August, the family complied. Immediately after that, the abductor stopped communicating with the parents.
Meanwhile, on the 22nd of August, some amount was sent to the GTB account of Christiannah and the amount was then withdrawn into the wema bank account belonging to the main suspect ( Name withheld for now).
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 100,000 from the betting account before agents got the betting company to lock the account.
Armed with 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.
The crazy thing is: that the same account number used to launder some amount directly from Christiannah’s account has been posted on Twitter once to “beg for a giveaway free money”
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.
Operatives then got confirmation of his presence in the building through active tracking of his mobile device. Immediately, gallant personnel of the Nigerian Army 174bn swooped in on the suspect to conduct an arrest.
After the arrest, damning evidence was seen with the suspect and this includes the victim’s blue ITEL A56 with IMEI:35230.
Also, in his phone are details of the money moved and also details confirming he owns the Betting account that was locked. It was registered with his phone number.
On his phone, they found an interaction between his email and the email address that has been interacting with the family of the deceased.
After reviewing the evidence, the suspect was then taken into custody to enable the operatives to conduct further investigations.
Upon reviewing this evidence, the suspect was successfully taken into custody for necessary action.
On September 3, the suspect reportedly confessed to the father and the soldiers that he killed the girl and buried her in their house.
There is also a new story awaiting further confirmation that in 2018, the suspect’s ex-girlfriend was killed in the same manner. Also in 2020, the suspect’s biological sister met the same fate, and the same thing happened to Christiannah in 2024.
He has No Dreadlocks or braids. He has No Tattoos or piercings. He looks innocent and harmless. Yet he has killed 3 innocent ladies
What a terrible story. Hmmm, a man’s/woman’s enemy are those of his/her household.”
