\nThe Lagos State Police Command on Tuesday confirmed the location where the Lagos State University graduate, Adedamola Ogunbode, was buried, following the arrest of the principal suspect, Olaoluwa Ajisomo.<\/p>\n

PUNCH Metro exclusively learnt that the prime suspect, rumoured to have fled to the Benin Republic, was leading police detectives in locating the burial site of the deceased.<\/p>\n

The command\u2019s spokesperson, Chief Superintendent of Police Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed both developments to PUNCH Metro on Tuesday in response to our correspondent\u2019s inquiry.<\/p>\n

The deceased, a Political Science Education graduate from LASU, had been missing since January 16, 2025, amid speculation that his mutilated body had been discovered.<\/p>\n

Last Friday, the Lagos State Police Command announced the arrest of three suspects and the ongoing search for five others connected to the murder of a 2024 graduate.<\/p>\n

Among those arrested was Whepetoji Sunday, a pastor who allegedly received N70,000 from the victim\u2019s account, and Sheriff Adebayo, a church member accused of receiving N300,000.<\/p>\n

PUNCH Metro gathered that the mother of the prime suspect, Omolara Ajisomo, was also arrested.<\/p>\n

She allegedly assisted her children, Teniola and Olaoluwa Ajisomo, in fleeing after each reportedly received N300,000 from the victim\u2019s account.<\/p>\n

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Olohundare Jimoh, had directed the State Criminal Investigation Department to take over the case after the students\u2019 union threatened to organise a statewide protest.<\/p>\n

Regarding the arrest of the prime suspect, Hundeyin revealed that he was apprehended on Monday morning in the Alakuko area of the state.<\/p>\n

Hundeyin further stated that the suspect was responsible for emptying Ogunbode\u2019s bank account using the victim\u2019s mobile phone.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe principal suspect, Olaoluwa Ajisomo, was arrested yesterday (Monday) morning at the Alakuko area. He was the one who cleared the victim\u2019s bank account through the victim\u2019s mobile phone,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

However, Hundeyin clarified that the grave was not located within the church premises, contrary to speculation on social media.<\/p>\n

He added that the church where the arrested cleric worshipped had been sealed off by the police following intelligence reports of a planned arson in retaliation.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cThe shallow grave is not around the church premises, but it is there in the community. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a source involved in the investigation informed our correspondent that police detectives were en route to exhume the victim from a shallow grave.<\/p>\n

The source said, \u201cI just received information that the newly arrested suspect has confessed to killing the LASU graduate, and the police are on their way to the burial site.\u201d<\/p>\n

When our correspondent sought confirmation from Hundeyin, he responded with a single word, \u201cConfirmed.\u201d Punch<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
