A local resident alerted the police, leading to the recovery of Awesu’s remains, which were later identified and taken to a morgue.

The investigation into her death began after a missing person report was filed on August 13 by Blessing, who identified herself as Awesu’s roommate. According to the report, Awesu had left home on August 9 to attend a party supposedly organized by students from Summit University and Al-Hikmah University.

The police spokesperson explained that Awesu was contacted by her friend, Timileyin, who introduced her to a Summit University student, Adebayo Happiness, who allegedly offered her ₦15,000 to attend the party as his pretend girlfriend.

Upon arriving in Ilorin, Awesu reportedly felt uneasy about the hotel where Happiness had lodged her and noticed that no party was actually happening at the location. Her last communication was with her roommate, where she expressed her discomfort with the situation, after which her phone became unreachable, and all efforts to contact her failed.

DSP Ejire-Adeyemi elaborated, stating, “Miss Mojisola received a phone call on August 9 from Miss Timileyin, who informed her about an event organized by students of Summit University and Al-Hikmah University in Ilorin. She was introduced to Mr. Adebayo Happiness, who invited her to the party under the pretense of having her act as his girlfriend for a fee of ₦15,000.”

The Kwara State Police Command has since launched a full investigation, and several suspects have been arrested. The case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further scrutiny.
