Christiana Idowu’s kidnap and death
On August 19, 2024, Christiana was reported missing after her kidnappers contacted her parents using her WhatsApp. They sent photos of her and asked for ₦1.5 million in ransom. Her parents managed to raise ₦350,000, which they sent to a betting account as instructed.
After receiving the ransom, the kidnappers requested a bank statement from Christiana’s family, which they provided on August 23. However, communication from the kidnappers ceased immediately after. Part of the ransom was moved to Christiana’s GTB account and then withdrawn into a Wema Bank account associated with Adeleye, a student at Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU).
Authorities started tracking the bank accounts on August 26. By August 29, they traced the BVN associated with the betting account to Adeleye. Before the account was frozen by the betting company, Adeleye had already withdrawn ₦100,000. Investigators also uncovered a personal link between Adeleye and Christiana, evidenced by their interactions on Instagram.
The police tracked Adeleye’s phone to his parents’ house in Ikorodu. Soldiers from the 174 Battalion arrested him there.
