Ogun poly beauty queen kidnapped, rap£d, and murdered
Happiness Okwa, a student at the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY), Abeokuta, Ogun State, was kidnapped, rap£d, and slain by suspected unidentified perpetrators.
It was learned that the Miss MAPOLY beauty pageant was won on August 3, 2022, by ND II mass communication student.
On Tuesday evening, August 9, the woman was apparently abducted while travelling to Ipara in Ode Remo by a group of gunmen, who then raped her before murdering her.
On Saturday, August 13, the president of the MAPOLY Students Union, Sodiq Ajani, verified the Abeokuta event.
In a statement co-signed by Joy Okolie, the public relations officer, and Ajani, the deceased was described as having been abducted three days before while on her way to a movie set.
“The Mass Communication student Miss Happiness Odeh passed away unexpectedly, according to the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic Students Union (MAPSU).
“She was reportedly kidnapped while she travelled down Iperu Road. With the permission of her parents, the deceased travelled three days ago from Abeokuta to Ipara, Ode-Remo, to see a filming site.
“Contrary to the rumours going around, her passing had nothing to do with her new position as Miss MAPOLY. She received the medal on August 3rd, and the movie theatre she visited had nothing to do with the college beauty pageants.
“We offer our condolences to her family, friends, and coworkers. May the Almighty God give us all the strength to endure this terrible loss. Keep taking comfort from the Lord’s bosom, it said.
The SUG President went on to say that the victim’s phone was taken by the killers.
He claims that the police have opened an inquiry and are working to apprehend the attackers.
Ajani said that the deceased student’s corpse had been brought to the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital’s mortuary in Sagamu.
