over
the
kidnap
and
murder
of
Christiannah

a
student
at
the
Federal
University
of
Agriculture,

The
gruesome
kidnap
and
murder
of
Christiannah
have
generated
condemnation
on
social
media
as
social
media
users
are
demanding
justice
and

of
the
alleged

Information
gathered
by

revealed
that
23-year-old
Ayomide
had
confessed
to
the
crime.
According
to
a
detailed
report
obtained,
Christiannah

was
declared

The
abductors
then
instructed
that
the
money
be
deposited
into
a
betting
account
through
a
bank
deposit
(details
withheld
).
After
receiving
the
money,
on
August
22,
the
abductors
requested
that
the
bank
statement
of
the
sender
be
forwarded
to
an
email.
The
family,
reportedly
complied.
However,
the
abductors
ceased
communication
immediately
afterwards.
On
August
22,
an
amount
was
said
to
have
been
transferred
into
Christiannah’s
GTBank
account
and
subsequently
withdrawn
into
a
Wema
Bank
account
belonging
to
the
primary
suspect
(name
withheld
for
now).
By
August
29,
Police
sources
hinted
that
intelligence
operatives
confirmed
with
the
bank
that
the
BVN
linked
to
the
masked
betting
account
allegedly
belonged
to
the
suspect,
who
also
operates
the
Wema
Bank
account
(account
number
withheld
for
now).
Further
investigation
as
gathered,
revealed
that
the
suspect
withdrew
N100,000
from
the
betting
account
before
agents
could
have
the
account
blocked.
Operatives
reportedly
began
investigating
the
suspect,
who
is
said
to
have
a
mutual
relationship
with
Christiannah,
as
evidenced
by
their
Instagram
interactions.
The
same
account
number
was
said
to
have
been
used
to
launder
money
from
Christiannah’s
account
which
was
previously
posted
on
Twitter
soliciting
a
giveaway.
With
all
this
information,
operatives
reportedly
tracked
the
suspect’s
phone
activities
and
messages,
leading
them
to
his
parent’s
house
in
the
Ikorodu
area
of
Lagos.
Active
tracking
further
confirmed
his
presence
at
the
location,
with
Nigerian
Army
personnel
from
the
174th
Battalion
effecting
his
arrest.
