Late Blessing Omowumi Olajide
Trial of suspects in the rape and murder of Blessing Omowumi Olajide, a 300-level Agricultural Science student of the University of Ilorin, began on Monday with the Department of State Service (DSS) tendering 40 items as exhibits.
A wooden toy gun was among the items tendered by the DSS operative, Igwe Imo, allegedly used by the suspects to commit the crime.
The suspects; Abdulazeez Ismail, Ajala Moses Oluwatimileyin, Oyeyemi Timileyin Omogbolahan, Abdulkarim Shuaib, Kareem Oshioyemi Rasheed, Abdullateef Abdulrahman, Daud Bashir Adebayo and Akande Taiye Oladoja were brought to court for alleged rape, murder and armed robbery.
The first three are the prime suspects in the case and are standing trial for rape and murder of the 24-year-old student in her Tanke, Ilorin residence early last month.
