Lawal Hafsoh Yetunde, a final-year student at Kwara State College of Education, was found dead in the home of an Islamic cleric, Abdulrahman Mohad Ballo, in Ilorin.
Reports indicate that Ballo lured her through Facebook. Hafsoh disappeared after receiving a call at a naming ceremony, prompting her family to report her missing.
The police traced her last call to a suspect in the Ofa Garage area, who initially denied involvement but later admitted she had been in his house. Investigators found her dismembered body hidden in a bowl, with tools used for the act nearby.
The suspect remains in custody at the Kwara State Police Headquarters.
