Nigerians were in shock about the brutal murder committed by Adeleye Atomise, a student of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB).
Just as they thought the story couldn’t get any worse, it turns out that was just the tip of the iceberg. Adeleye Ayomide who made headlines for the cold-blooded murder of a female student Idowu Christiana, is now revealed to be a serial killer with a psychological disturbance.
The case of Christiana’s kidnap and murder has rendered the nation speechless. Idowu Christiana, a promising student doing her Industrial Training (IT) program at Unilag was reported missing for a week before Adeleye Ayomide, the alleged killer was apprehended.
However, a more shocking truth has surfaced– a leaked WhatsApp conversation reveals that while Ayomide kidnapped Christiana, he continued chatting with her friend after the murder. He casually asked Christiana’s friend about the details of her disappearance as if he wasn’t responsible for the tragic event.
A Twitter account revealed in horror in a tweet saying “This boy is a devil. He was still chatting with her friends like he knew nothing about Christiana’s kidnap.” This deceptive behaviour has confirmed that he has psychological disturbances pertaining to a serial killer.
There have been some revelations stating that Adeleye Ayomide is no stranger to murder. This isn’t his first time killing people, as he has previously murdered women close to him.
In 2018, Ayomide allegedly murdered his ex-girlfriend in a similar gruesome manner. Even more shocking, in 2020, he was linked to the murder of his sister. Both murders were not investigated properly, but with his actions, missing prices are not falling into place.
Now that his dark past has come to light, the Nigerian legal system must ensure that justice is served fast. Under the Nigerian Penal Code, the crime of murder is punishable by death. Section 319 of the Criminal Code Act states that anyone found guilty of murder is liable to be sentenced to death.
Adeleye Ayomide will feel the weight of the law on his neck, and people are clamouring for the harshest punishment. Given the cruelty of his crimes, he can face the death penalty and life imprisonment without parole.
