UNIOSUN: 28-yr-old Student Charged With Kidnap Of Missing Students by Aiholi(op): 1:36pm On Sep 29, 2016

The police in Osun state have arraigned a 28- year-old student of the Osun State University, on Wednesday, September 28, and charged the suspect with the kidnapping of two missing students.

The suspect identified as Adedamola Olagoke was according to reports, the last person to speak with the missing duo, Samuel Eke and Akinduro Robert who are students of the same university before their disappearance.

Adedamola was arraigned before an Osogbo Magistrates Court. The missing duo is students of the Computer Science Department of the varsity and was declared missing on September 5.

Samuel and Akinduro are reported to have gone to Ogidan Junction after the suspect is alleged to have asked them to meet him, but the duo has been nowhere to be found since 10:54 on that fateful day. Adedamola is alleged to have conspired with other culprits who are at large, to have the two students kidnapped.

The accused was arrested by the police on September 10, five days after the students went missing. Adedamola pleaded not guilty to the three-count charge bordering on unlawful imprisonment and kidnapping.

Mr Kazeem Badmus, counsel to the accused, prayed the court to admit Adedamola to bail giving assurance that Adedamola would not be a hindrance to the investigations. According to Badmus, Adedamola is asthmatic, a health condition which has been communicated to the police.

However, the Magistrate who presided over the case, Falilat Sodamade, ordered that the accused be remanded in prison and adjourned the case to October 6, for mention.
