| Tolu Esuola |
The
Oyo State Police Command has begun investigations into the death of a
21-year-old woman, Tolu Esuola. Esuola, was found tied to her bed and burnt
beyond recognition in Oyo, Oyo State.
Our correspondent learnt
that neighbours were alerted to a fire incident at the residence of the victim
at Akeetan Baale compound around 11pm on July 24.
Some neighbours, who pleaded
anonymity, said the victim was found face-down with a cable wire tied around
her wrists.
The state of her body
raised suspicion in the area that her death was a murder. Esuola was said to be
an employee of Momoh Hospital, Oyo.
“Her
mother and other siblings travelled. Her father, Mr. Femi Esuola, was also away
in Ogbomosho, where he works. We did not hear any scream that night. It is very
strange,” a neighbour said.
The other
tenants of the building were also not around on the day of the incident.
However,
a man identified simply as Kunle, said to be the victim’s lover before their
affair went awry, has been arrested in connection with the incident.
He is currently being
held at the Homicide Section of Iyaganku Police Division, Ibadan.
The Police Public
Relations Officer, Mrs. Olabisi Clet-Ilobanafor, who confirmed the incident,
said the suspect claimed he was at Minna, Niger State, when the incident took
place.
“Our
investigation will reveal if he is culpable or not. If the body was found burnt
beyond recognition, how can anybody say it was found bound?” she
said.
This world is full of
terrible wickedness.!
May her soul rest in
perfect peace
