A student of the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY), Abeokuta, Happiness Odeh, has been reportedly killed by her abductors.
Odeh, it was gathered, won the Miss MAPOLY
beauty contest on August 3, 2022.
The ND2 student of Mass Communication was
said to have been kidnapped on her way to Ipara, in Ode Remo on Tuesday evening.
FACTUAL NAIJA NEWS gathered that the beauty queen
was kidnapped along Iperu road by some unknown persons who it was gathered,
raped her before killing her in cold blood.
The MAPOLY Students Union (MAPSU), has
confirmed the incident.
According to a statement signed by the
Students Union President, Sodiq Ajani and the Public Relations Officer, Joy
Okolie, the deceased was kidnapped three days ago while going to visit a movie
location.
“Moshood Abiola Polytechnic Students Union
(MAPSU) announces the untimely death of Miss Happiness Odeh, a Mass
Communication student of MAPOLY.
“According to reports, she was abducted
along Iperu road to her destination. The deceased left Abeokuta three days ago
to visit a movie location at Ipara, Ode-Remo, with the consent of her parents.
“Contrary to the rumours flying around, her
death is not related to her status as the new Miss MAPOLY. She won the award on
the 3rd of August and the movie location she attended has nothing to do with
the beauty pageantry on campus.
“We commiserate with her family, friends
and colleagues. May Almighty God grant us all the fortitude to bear this
painful loss. Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord,” the statement read.
Speaking with our correspondent on
Saturday, the Students Union President said the murderers took away the
victim’s phone.

investigations, making efforts to get the assailants arrested.
Ajani informed that the body of the slain student
had been deposited at the morgue of the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching
Hospital, Sagamu.
“It was so pathetic. The kidnappers killed
her and went away with her phone. Her body was found inside the bush along
Iperu road. The body has been deposited at the mortuary. We were at the Olabisi
Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu, yesterday with the parents. May
God rest her soul,” he said.
Efforts to reach the Ogun State Police
Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, were unsuccessful as he did not
