More details have emerged in the murder of Christianah Idowu by her friend and church member Ayomide Adeleye.
Ayomide, a 200 Level Philosophy student of the Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ogun State, confessed on Monday, September 2, to killing Christianah Idowu, a 300 Level student of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB).
Christianah had gone missing on August 19 while on her way from Ita Oluwo to the University of Lagos in Yaba where she was undergoing industrial training (IT).

Ayomide, 23, was arrested on Sunday, September 1, after troops of the 174 Battalion of the Nigerian Army tracked Christianah Idowu’s phone to his residence in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.
Ayomide denied knowledge of Christianah’s whereabouts and claimed he was a phone repairer. He said unknown persons gave him the phone to repair and he asked no questions.
Reports indicate that Christianah and Ayomide knew each other as they both schooled in Ogun State, attended the same church and lived in the same Ita Oluwo community.
“On that Sunday, the girl who normally goes to UNILAG on weekends to return home on Friday left her house as usual,” an insider said.
“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, Ayomide attempted to have intercourse with her but she resisted, so he killed her.
At 8:50 pm on the same day, he used Christianah’s phone to text her mother via WhatsApp, saying: “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.”
Ayomide then took a photo of Christianah, who was de@d already and sent it to her mother on WhatsApp using the view once feature.
