Prime Suspect in AAUA Students’ Murder Dies Mysteriously in Police Custody

ONDO STATE, NIGERIA, JUL 17 – The landlord orchestrated the kidnapping and murder to conceal a robbery and extortion plot, with N800,000 withdrawn from the victim's account during captivity, police said.

  • On Wednesday, July 16, 2025, Commissioner Adebowale Lawal announced the arrest of Mr Oladele Femi and two suspects, citing their alleged role in the AAUA students’ case.
  • The petition dated June 24, 2025 prompted police to launch an intensive inquiry, and Lawal said the landlord ordered suspected cultists to 'deal with' Abah.
  • Through forensic tracking, investigators traced an iPhone 14 Pro Max to Computer Village in Ikeja, Lagos and seized a Lexus RX 350, securing key evidence.
  • Last week, the students’ bodies were discovered near the Ondo-Ekiti border at separate sites, and police sources said Femi died in a hospital after falling ill in custody.
  • The case has sparked outrage across the Adekunle Ajasin University community and beyond, and authorities continue efforts to recover Abah’s remains and apprehend the fugitive.
