Authorities Arrest Suspect In Babcock Lecturer Murder Case, Rescues Two Victims

The Ogun State Police Command has achieved a significant breakthrough in the Ajadeh Event Centre attack case in Iperu Remo along Sagamu Road. The incident, which resulted in the tragic killing of a Babcock University lecturer and the abduction of two others, occurred on Friday, April 19. Following the incident, a primary suspect has been apprehended.

According to reports from Naija News, the attack unfolded around 9:30 pm when nine masked assailants invaded the event center, firing shots indiscriminately and attempting to abduct attendees. Yinka Olowojobi, a lecturer at Babcock University, lost his life after bravely resisting the kidnappers’ attempts.

In addition to the lecturer’s death, two individuals, one identified as Dare, a manager at a car stand, were abducted from the scene.

Omolola Odutola, spokesperson for the Ogun State Police Command, provided insights into the incident and subsequent police actions. Eyewitnesses recounted the presence of eight armed men dressed in black who unleashed gunfire within the lounge area.

The apprehended suspect, Awada Ishaya, had been employed as a security officer at the event center, which had opened just two weeks before the tragic incident. Hailing from Plateau State, Ishaya was taken into custody after suspicions arose regarding his involvement. Odutola emphasized that Ishaya’s suspicious activities led to his interrogation and subsequent arrest.

As investigations progress, law enforcement authorities are actively pursuing the remaining suspects involved in the attack while prioritizing the safe recovery of the kidnapped victims. The police encourage anyone with relevant information regarding the incident to come forward and assist in bringing the perpetrators to justice.
