Tragic Death of Kwara State College Student Mojisola Awesu Raises Concerns....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
A heartbreaking incident has unfolded in Ilorin, Kwara State, where a 21-year-old student, Mojisola Awesu, from the Kwara State College of Health Technology, was found dead at a refuse dump. Awesu’s death has shocked the community, especially as it was reported that she was contracted by a friend to act as a girlfriend for another university student at a party for the sum of N15,000.
The grim discovery was made on August 12, 2024, when local laborers stumbled upon Awesu’s body at a refuse dump in the Aleniboro area. The Kwara Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Toun Ejire-Adeyemi, confirmed the incident in a statement to PUNCH Online. Following the report from community residents, police operatives swiftly arrived at the scene, recovered the body, and later identified it as Mojisola Awesu before transferring it to a morgue.
On August 13, the situation escalated when Miss Blessing, Awesu’s roommate, reported her missing. Awesu had left home to attend a party organized by students from two private universities in the area. DSP Ejire-Adeyemi explained that Awesu had received a phone call from her acquaintance, Miss Timileyin, on August 9. Timileyin invited Awesu to an event at a hotel, introducing her to Mr. Adebayo Happiness, a student at Summit University, who allegedly paid her to pose as his girlfriend.
Upon arriving in Ilorin, Awesu expressed discomfort to her roommate about the hotel where she was staying, noting that there was no party taking place as promised. After this communication, her phone became unreachable, and attempts by her roommate to contact her were unsuccessful.
Following these developments, the Kwara State Police Command has taken decisive action by arresting several suspects connected to the case. The investigation has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for further analysis. DSP Ejire-Adeyemi assured the public that a thorough investigation is underway to uncover the circumstances surrounding Awesu’s tragic death.
The community is left in shock and mourning, calling attention to the need for increased safety measures for students and young people attending social events. As investigations continue, many are hoping for justice for Mojisola Awesu and answers regarding the events that led to her untimely death.
Political economist and former presidential candidate, Professor Pat Utomi, is prioritizing the “Big Tent” initiative as a vehicle for developing a comprehensive national manifesto and identifying capable leadership ahead of the 2027 elections. Speaking on Arise TV regarding emerging political realignments, Utomi emphasized that the initiative’s primary goal is to endorse competent, reform-minded candidates who are committed to national development, regardless of their specific political party affiliation.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Utomi expressed frustration with Nigeria’s tendency to sideline talented individuals in favor of established political figures who claim experience but often lack a history of meaningful contribution. He challenged the common political narrative, arguing that many long-serving politicians are merely repeating limited experience rather than driving national progress. According to Utomi, this cycle of recycling the same political actors suppresses new talent and stifles the country’s development, a pattern he insists must be broken.
Furthermore, Utomi advocated for stricter oversight of political defections to enhance accountability. He called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to take a more decisive stand against the frequent switching of parties by politicians, which he described as an impediment to governance and a practice that prioritizes personal interest over the national good.

He identified Peter Obi’s followers as the primary “tigers of social media,” noting that while other parties have similar groups, the “Obidients” are the most prominent.
