Two female students of Kwara State Polytechnic, Adama Joseph and Favour Vandora have been arrested by the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) for allegedly killing a Kwara socialite, Adeniyi Ojo, during a sexual romp.
It was earlier reported that the Managing Director of a guest hotel in Ilorin, the state capital, was found dead under suspicious circumstances, on Friday, September 29.
The Force PRO, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, while parading the suspects in Abuja, said operatives of the force apprehended the two suspects on October 6, 2023, for their involvement in the robbery and murder of Mr Adeniyi Ojo, the son of Chief Emmanuel Ojo, a prominent figure in Ilorin, Kwara State.
He said, ‘Through meticulous investigative work, our officers were able to track and apprehend these suspects in Mowe Ibafo, Ogun State.
‘In a tragic incident, the duo tied the deceased under the guise of having a sex romp and demanded money from him.

‘But when he was not forthcoming, they resorted to drugging and suffocating him, leading to his untimely demise.
‘They have been processed and will be charged to court shortly,’ the Force PRO added.
He said that the police remained unflinching in its determination to secure the people.
Speaking to newsmen, one of the suspects, Adanma Joseph, corroborated the account of the police about what transpired between them and the deceased.
Adama said she had been in a sexual relationship with the deceased and he wanted to have a threesome with her and her friend, Favour Vandora, so they met him with the intent to steal from him.
In a new twist of event, the Kwara State Polytechnic has disowned the two suspects, Vandora Favour Oreoluwa Davies and Joseph Joy Adama, who were paraded for the murder of a club owner, Adeniyi Ojo, in a hotel situated in Ilorin, Kwara State.
Reacting to the claim in a statement by its Public Relations Officer, Halimat Garba, on Thursday, Oct. 12, the institution stated that its students are good ambassadors of Nigeria, and that they aren’t students.
The statement reads: ‘The management wishes to disclaim this discrediting and malicious news about the institution, stating that the suspects being paraded in Abuja by the force PRO, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, are students of Kwara State Polytechnic.
‘Our database check showed that the two ladies had since been withdrawn from the school after their first years on account of poor academic performances. They have, therefore, ceased being students of our great institution.
‘The polytechnic management states categorically that its students are good ambassadors of the institution, the state, and Nigeria at large, and will not be involved in shameful or criminal acts of any kind.’
