A 21-year-old final-year student at the Kwara State College of Health Technology, Offa, who was reportedly paid N15,000 to act as a girlfriend, has been found dead in a waste site three weeks after lauding her sign-out.
The student identified as Awesu Mojisola Oluwafunmike went missing on August 9, 2024, shortly after making known photos and videos of her sign-out ceremony on social media.
Reports reveal that Mojisola received a phone call from one Miss Timileyin, who informed her about an event organized by students from Summit University and Al-Hikmah University in Ilorin.
Through this introduction, Mojisola was connected with Mr. Adebayo Happiness, a student of Summit University, who allegedly invited her to attend a night party, promising her a payment of Fifteen Thousand Naira (#15,000.00) to act as his girlfriend.
Upon arriving in Ilorin, Mojisola reportedly informed her roommate, Miss Blessing O, that she felt uneasy in the hotel where Mr. Happiness had lodged her, and she noted that no party was taking place at the venue.
Shortly after this communication, Mojisola’s phone was switched off, and all efforts by her roommate to reach her proved fruitless.
The situation took a devastating turn when, on August 11, 2024, a group of laborers discovered Mojisola’s body at a refuse site near the Aleniboro area in Ilorin, Kwara State.
The following day, August 12, Mr. Olorunoje, a resident of the area, reported the discovery to the police after being informed by the laborers.
According to the spokesperson of the Kwara State Police Command, DSP Toun Ejire-Adeyemi, a team of detectives was immediately dispatched to the scene following the report.
Shockingly, the body was later identified as that of Mojisola Awesu Oluwafunmike.

A student of the Benue State Univeristy, BSU, Makurdi, Mr Abel Agaba, who was reported to have drowned in the River Benue was recovered on Friday.
A source said the deceased, who is a 200-level student of the Chemistry Department of the institution, had gone missing after swimming in River Benue.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Agaba, who lived with family members at Awe Street in the Wurukum area of Makurdi town, went to the nearby River Benue after watching a football match at a viewing center at about 11:45 pm.
He said, “we learnt that after watching the European football matches that finished at about 11:45 pm he said he was feeling hot and wanted to swim in River Benue to cool his body.
“Though those with him advised him against going to the River as it was already too late, he insisted and went since it was the usual practice around the area for people to go swimming at night whenever there is intense heat.
“He went alone and nobody bothered to check on him till Friday morning when a fisherman in the neighbourhood went to the River to check his fishing net for fishes and discovered Agaba’s lifeless body attached to his fishing net.
“The man raised the alarm and people went and recovered his body which was identified by his family members who took his remains to the mortuary.
“The death of the young man has thrown Awe Street neighbourhood into mourning because he was a gentle man who gave his time to his studies and never had issues with anyone.”
When contacted for confirmation, Spokesperson of the Benue State Police Command, CSP, Catherine Anene said she was yet to receive information on the incident.
