CONFIRMED: Confessed Killer Ayomide Adeleye Not in Prison, Never Remanded for Murder

Ayomide Adeleye, the young man who confessed to killing Christianah Idowu, his friend and neighbour, is not in any correctional facility in Lagos State, FIJ has confirmed.

First arrested and remanded in September, rumours of his release began spreading in December, leading friends and family to worry over the state of the murder case against him.

FIJ earlier reported that efforts to verify these claims led the newspaper to insiders in the police force who said they had heard the same claims but information was limited by the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).

“The police handed him over to the Ikoyi Prison, but the judiciary is slow in its dealings. The warrant doesn’t expire, so I wonder how he secured release for a murder offence,” they told FIJ.

FIJ then made some findings in the NCoS and learnt from a credible source with access to records that there were two persons bearing ‘Ayomide Adeleye’ in their custody, but none was charged with murder and both had since been freed.

This source said, “We had one in Ikoyi and one in Kirikiri Medium, but they are no longer with us here. They have been released. None of them was charged with murder or kidnapping.”

When FIJ asked for a reiteration, the source said, “There is no Ayomide Adeleye in any prison in Lagos. Maybe you should ask the police because they are the ones who obtained the remand warrant.”

FIJ made several attempts to reach Benjamin Hundeyin, the Lagos State Police spokesman, but he did not respond to our calls or messages. Muyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer, promised to find out and get back to FIJ.

Adeleye, a 200 Level Philosophy student of the Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ogun State, confessed in early September to killing Christianah Idowu, a 300 Level student of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB).

On November 5, he appeared before Seyi Omodara, a magistrate at the Ogba Magistrate Court, and she granted a remand warrant to the police to detain him at the Ikoyi prison pending when the DPP’s advice becomes available.

FIJ wrote to the DPP three days later, but despite promising to get back to the newspaper, the directorate has yet to do so.

Ritual killing is very common in the south west simply because the immediate society there somehow tolerates it. There is no way you can free a person with such hefty accusations if the society has not been culturally prepared to overlook such crimes.

While it’s easy to feel disillusioned given the inconsistencies in the system, it's important to approach this sentiment with nuance. Yes, Nigeria's institutions have their challenges, but outright dismissal of the entire system as untrustworthy isn't entirely fair or constructive.

Here’s why:

Checks and Balances Exist: Despite flaws, there are mechanisms within the judicial and law enforcement systems designed to ensure accountability. Investigative journalism, like the FIJ report, is an example of these checks in action.

Improvements Are Ongoing: Efforts to reform institutions, such as the Nigerian Correctional Service and judiciary, are happening. These reforms may be slow, but dismissing them entirely undermines progress.

Role of Citizens and Media: Transparency often comes from active citizen participation and investigative journalism. Highlighting flaws through platforms like FIJ increases pressure on authorities to act responsibly.

Not Every Case Is the Same: While high-profile cases might expose inefficiencies, there are many instances where justice is served, even if they don't make headlines.

The way forward is not to lose hope but to demand better governance, support reform efforts, and actively engage with the system to drive change. Blanket distrust only discourages accountability and progress.

The SOUTH EAST is actually where ritual killings are carried out even on babies, hence the proliferation of BABY FACTORIES in Igboland.

Also CANNIBALISM is the order of the day as many youths in that region believe eating human flesh will bestow on them unimaginable wealth.

Fake news.

The guy is still in prison. The Ayomide being passed around is a different one that was bearing same name and released months ago before even Ayo was remanded.

By tomorrow, the author of the news will retract it.

Explain to the reading public why the south west seldom protests against ritual killings. Why people caught in the act seldom get punished. Why there are known markets for selling body parts.

We are waiting..

As far as the post is concerned, this is just an ordinary sheet of paper that proves nothing. For every lie we've been told in this country, there are several documents like these.

If the part where the reporter's sources claimed that there's no Ayomide Adeleye in any prison in Lagos is true, then the matter needs to be seriously investigated.

He was never acting alone. To protect their front is to release him to avoid high-level implications of politically exposed persons.

The police have already responded to this allegation. They contacted the Corrections Service and the Corrections Service confirmed that Ayomide is still in prison. It was a different person with the same name that was released.

The police PRO posted a picture of the remand order and a screenshot of a FIJ article. The same FIJ that is now saying that he was not remanded actually reported his arraignment in court.

The bulk lies on leadership.

We cannot talk of good governance without leader that are honest, have integrity, morally upright, with no bad, criminal, corrupt past records.

Did you not notice that in the first one month of Buhari’s regime, there was a great change in the attitude or disposition of many Nigerians? As soon as they noticed that all the heard were lies and illusions, they returned to status quo: even worse off.

You obviously have comprehension problem or you are intentionally being mischievous. Whatever letter you posted is dated 26th November and there is a report the guy is no longer in prison and all you could do was call it a fake news.

He doesn't have to do anything because the police hand over suspects to the corrections service once there is a remand order. The suspect is in the custody of the corrections service, not the police. That's who they need to contact.
