The Nigerian Army has arrested Adeleye Ayomide, a 23-year-old suspected of murdering Idowu Christiana, a 300-level student from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) in Ogun State.
The Lagos State Police confirmed on Thursday that the Army has transferred Ayomide to them.
Christiana was kidnapped by unknown assailants on the Ikorodu-Yaba Road in Lagos State on August 19, 2024.

The incident has caused widespread outrage across Nigeria, especially on social media, with many people using the hashtag #JusticeForChristianah to call for justice. Further details will be provided later.
