The Oyo State Police Command has begun
investigations into the death of a 21-year-old
woman, Tolu Esuola. Esuola, was found tied to
her bed and burnt beyond recognition in Oyo,
Oyo State. Our correspondent learnt that
neighbours were alerted to a fire incident at the
residence of the victim at Akeetan Baale
compound around 11pm.
Some neighbours, who pleaded anonymity, said
the victim was found face-down with a cable wire
tied around her wrists. The state of her body
raised suspicion in the area that her death was a
murder. Esuola was said to be an employee of
Momoh Hospital, Oyo. "Her mother and other
siblings travelled. Her father, Mr. Femi Esuola,
was also away in Ogbomosho, where he works.
We did not hear any scream that night. It is very
strange," a neighbour said.
REPORTNAIJA learnt that the other tenants of the
building were also not around on the day of the
incident. However, a man identified simply as
Kunle, said to be the victim's lover before their
affair went awry, has been arrested in connection
with the incident.
He is currently being held at the Homicide
Section of Iyaganku Police Division, Ibadan.The
Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs. Olabisi Clet-
Ilobanafor, who confirmed the incident, said the
suspect claimed he was at Minna, Niger State,
when the incident took place. "Our investigation
will reveal if he is culpable or not. If the body was
found burnt beyond recognition, how can
anybody say it was found bound?" she said.
