    The police command in Lagos State on Wednesday exhumed the body of a 28-year-old graduate of Lagos State University (LASU), Mr Adedamola Ogunbode.

    The corpse  was  buried in a shallow grave behind LASU fence in its Ojo Campus.

    The deceased, a Political Science Education graduate, had been missing since Jan. 16.

    The police earlier announced arrest of four suspects and a search for four others allegedly  linked to the murder of the 2024 graduate.

    The suspects were alleged to have transfered  out all the money in the deceased’s bank account and shared among themselves.

    The Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, who was at the site of the exhumation, said that one of the suspects led the police to the site.

    “Jan. 16 was when all this started after a report was received by the Ojo Police Division that the young man went missing.

    “After the new Commissioner of Police, Mr Olohundare Jimoh, assumed duty on Feb, 18, he gave  orders to the State Criminal investigation Department to investigate the case.

    “That was when the case was upgraded from that of a missing person to a case of  suspected murder.

    “This led to arrest of one of the principal suspects who did not only confess to killing  the young man, but also led us here, where the victim was buried,” he said.

    Hundeyin said that the police would apprehend the remaining suspects and wrap up the investigation.

    “Now that we have seen the body, investigation  is gradually coming to an end.

    “We will intensify efforts to apprehend the remaining suspects, ” he said.

    The spokesperson assured Lagos residents that justice would be served in the case.

    “The suspects will definitely be prosecuted to ensure that justice is served.

    “We use this opportunity to commiserate with the family of the deceased.

    “We also thank Lagos State Government for  immense support in every area of crime fighting within the state,” he said.

    Hundeyin had told newsmen on Monday that the police had sealed a church where one of the arrested persons worshipped, following intelligence report of a planned arson in retaliation.

    “The church was sealed following intelligence reports that some people planned to burn it out of vengeance, and we do not want that to happen,” he said.

    NAN reports that those present at the site include police personnel, health workers, local government officials, LASU students and lecturers, and Ojo residents.

    “On April 23, 2024, we received news about the untimely passing of Yahaya Aishat Olabisi, a diligent and bright student of ADUSTECH, Wudil,” he said.

    Dambazau explained that Olabisi spent her last evening engrossed in her studies, diligently preparing for upcoming examinations.

    He said the following morning, after a shared breakfast with her roommate and a conversation with her father, the student expressed her intent to rest briefly before resuming her studies.

    He said that upon investigation, it was discovered that she had passed on in her sleep, in her off-campus residence.

    According to him, immediate measures were taken, as she was swiftly taken to the university clinic, where her passing was confirmed by medical professionals.

    “Given the circumstances, her remains were transferred to Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH), for postmortem analysis to ascertain the cause of her sudden demise’’, he said.

    Dambazau said that after honouring her memory and bidding her farewell, Olabisis was laid to rest on April 24.

    “We urge everyone to refrain from spreading or engaging with misinformation that may harm our university’s reputation and create unnecessary panic,” he said.
