The Management of Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin, has officially declared that the two female students alleged to be involved in the murder of a hotel manager in the state capital had previously been rusticated from the institution due to their poor academic performance. The institution’s Public Relations Officer, Halimat Garba, issued a press statement to clarify this matter.
The statement, titled “Re: How we killed Club owner in Hotel – Female Student,” conveyed the Polytechnic’s stance:
“The attention of the Polytechnic Authority has been drawn to a trending story and a video clip in which two ladies (Joseph Joy Adama and Vandora Davies Oreoluwa) named in the alleged murder of a hotelier in Ilorin were erroneously identified as students of the Kwara State Polytechnic.
“Our database checks showed that the two ladies had since been withdrawn from the school after their first years on account of poor academic performances. They have therefore ceased being students of our great institution.
“The Polytechnic Management states categorically that its students are good ambassadors of the institution, the state, and Nigeria at large, and will not be involved in shameful or criminal acts of any kind.
“We urge our media friends to always check with us anything that concerns our great institution.”
It should be recalled that the Nigeria Police Force arrested two female suspects, Joseph Joy Adama and Vandora Davies Oreoluwa Favour, for their alleged involvement in the robbery and murder of a prominent Kwara socialite and Managing Director of Water View Hotel, Ilorin, Mr. Adeniyi Ojo.
The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, disclosed that on October 6, 2023, the police apprehended the two suspects, who are both students of Kwara State Polytechnic. He explained that these individuals tied the deceased under the pretext of engaging in sexual activity and demanded money from him. When he refused to comply, they resorted to drugging and suffocating him, leading to his tragic demise.
One of the suspects, Joseph Joy Adama, admitted to having a sexual relationship with the deceased and further revealed that they had planned to steal from him on that fateful day. When their victim did not cooperate, they resorted to drugging him and subsequently left with his phone and other valuable items, only to later discover that he had passed away.
