Missing LASU student found dead,buried in church premises

This guy in the pic, 28-year-old Ogubode Quadri Adedamola was declared missing on January 16.

He graduated from the Pol Science Education Department of Lagos State University in 2024 and he is the CEO of Horlar Edu Consultancy — a private business operating at the LASU Campus.

According to his girlfriend, she called him the day he went missing — and he said was in front of the church, CCC ILERI OLUWA PARISH, LASU 2, and would call back later.

Police visited the church based on the GF narration and the Shepherd denied seeing him on the said day nor knowing about his whereabouts.

Police intensified the investigation, and got his bank statement. They discovered that #1.5m was transferred from the guy's account on the day he went missing.

A certain amount went into the Shepherd's bank account, his daughter’s own, among others.

The shepherd, Sup. Evang. Whepetoji Babaniyeh initially denied receiving the money but later claimed it was for Thanksgiving when police showed him evidence. This led to his detention for further investigation. 

It has now been reported that the guy's body has been discovered where it was buried near the church premises.

He was buried under the shepherd's supervision. Gun and axe were also recovered from the shepherd.


My take: Who should be trusted?
