Jamiu Salihu, a 29-year-old man, has been apprehended by the police in connection with the tragic death of Miss Temitope Elemide, a 20-year-old university admission seeker.

The incident, which has been classified as a murder case, was reported to the authorities on Sunday.

According to sources, the young woman was killed at her family residence in the Bosero community, Olodo, located in the Odeda council area.

Miss Elemide was diligently preparing for the upcoming Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) before the unfortunate incident occurred. State Police Spokesman, SP Omolola Odutola, confirmed the arrest of Elemide’s boyfriend as a suspect in the murder case.
