The prime suspect in the murder of two missing students from Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko (AAUA), Femi Oladele popularly known as Talked has died.
He died under suspicious circumstances shortly after confessing to the crime.
Oladele, who was reportedly the landlord of the victims, Andrew Eloho Okah and John Friday Abba, was arrested by detectives of the Ondo State Police Command at a hotel in Akungba.
He was believed to have planned the brutal killing of the undergraduates, allegedly instructing a group of cultists to “deal with” the duo for allegedly disrespecting him.
Recall that the students were declared missing for weeks before their decomposing bodies were discovered near the Ondo-Ekiti border.
According to sources, they were abducted, robbed, raped, and murdered.
He reportedly developed a strange illness shortly after making a chilling confession to police officers.
A source familiar with the investigation revealed that he died in the hospital under police supervision.
Spokesperson of the state police command, Olayinka Ayanlade, confirmed the death, stating that Oladele had been receiving treatment but succumbed in the early hours of the day.
“Yes, he is dead. He had been under medical supervision since his arrest and had been in and out of the hospital. He passed away yesterday.
We have recovered the decomposing body of Okah and are still searching for Abba’s remains,” Ayanlade said.
He further disclosed that two other suspects, Kola and Michael, were arrested in connection with the case.
The duo reportedly withdrew ₦800,000 from the late Abba’s account after the murder.
