University of Ibadan student Omolara Shittu raped & killed in her home

27 year old Taiwo Omolara Shittu (pictured above), a 500l student of the
Department of Aquaculture and Fisheries Management, University of Ibadan,
was attacked and killed on the 19th of February at her sister's home at Opeyemi
street, Gbagi in Ibadan.



Her sister, who she lived with, returned home from work around 5:30pm on
Wednesday to find Taiwo in the pool of her own blood, her pants down to her
ankle, and a machete stained with blood on the bed. Taiwo had been attacked
with the machete as there was an opening on her head.

A man who cuts grass for her sister has been arrested and is currently being held
at Alakia Adenubi police station in Ibadan. The man, said to be in his early 30s,
has denied any involvement in the murder but it was the machete he uses to cut
grass that was found in the crime scene.

The case has been transferred to the State CID. So sad. May her soul rest in peace..
Amen.
