Ogun university student Christiana Idowu killed
An insider account shared by @Letter_to_Jack on “X” detailed the timeline of events leading up to Christiana’s tragic end.
On August 19, 2024, Christiana was declared missing after her parents received a distressing message from her abductors via her WhatsApp contact.
The kidnappers sent photos of Christiana in captivity using the app’s ‘view once’ feature and demanded a ransom of N1,500,000. Her parents managed to raise N350,000, which was sent to a betting account as instructed by the abductors.
Despite complying with the ransom demands, the communication from the kidnappers ceased on August 23, leaving the family in despair. Further investigations revealed that a sum of money was transferred to Christiana’s GTB account and subsequently withdrawn into a Wema Bank account belonging to the main suspect.
The tragic death of Christiana Idowu has left a community in mourning and a nation demanding justice. As the investigation continues, the public remains vigilant, hoping that justice will be served for Christiana and her grieving family.
