The Lagos State Police Command in Nigeria has confirmed the discovery of the burial site of Adedamola Ogunbode, a missing Lagos State University (LASU) graduate, following the arrest of the principal suspect, Olaoluwa Ajisomo.
Ogunbode, a Political Science Education graduate, was reported missing on January 16, 2025, sparking widespread speculation after reports emerged that his mutilated body had been found.
Speaking to Newsmen, the spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Benjamin Hundeyin, revealed that the grave has been located and that arrangements are being made to exhume the body.
“The grave was not found in the church compound, as claimed on social media, but around the LASU area,” Hundeyin clarified.
On Monday, police confirmed the arrest of 28-year-old Ajisomo, who is now considered the prime suspect in Ogunbode’s suspected murder. According to Hundeyin, Ajisomo was apprehended in the Alakuko area of Lagos and was found to have cleared the victim’s bank account using his mobile phone.
“The principal suspect, Olaoluwa Ajisomo, was arrested yesterday (Monday) in Alakuko. He was the one who emptied the victim’s bank account through his mobile phone,” Hundeyin stated.
Authorities are continuing their investigation into the case as they prepare to exhume the body for forensic examination.
