A 14-year-old Girl (name withheld) has been arrested over the murder of a Lecturer at Federal University of Technology, Minna.

She was apprehended over her involvement in the murder of Dr Fumilola Sherifat Adefolalu, who was a lecturer with the Department of Biochemistry, School of Life Sciences of the Federal University of Technology, Minna on Saturday, October 28.

Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Wasiu Abiodun, disclosed the arrest of the prime suspect, saying two other suspects connected to the crime were at large. He stated that efforts were ongoing to apprehend them.

The 14-year old confessed to the crime while being paraded at the Bosso Police Station in Minna, Niger state, stating that she had gone to the house to confront and beat up the late lecturer for sending her packing.

According to her, she had gone to the deceased residence with two of her classmates known as Walex and Smart, adding that while beating her, it was discovered that the lecturer would report them when she was left alone which was why they decided to kill her.

The suspect, who is an SS 2 Student of Day Secondary School, Gidan Kuka, said that Smart and Walex first hit the deceased with a stool before stabbing the deceased with knives repeatedly and leaving her dead.

She stated: “It was Walex who said that she would recognize us if we left her alive, so they started stabbing her with the knife we brought, I then struggled with the knife with them which made Smart enter her kitchen and take a knife there and they continued stabbing her.

“They stabbed her in her stomach, her hands, her legs and she was just shouting Jesus, Jesus. After all that, they took her phone and laptop and her car battery before we left the house in the motorcycle we came in.”

She added that she had been living with the deceased for three weeks, stressing that the deceased who was supposed to sponsor her education sent her packing because she could no longer bear her misdeeds.

On October 29, Dr. Adefolalu was found murdered in her residence in the Gbaiko Area of the town.

PPRO Abiodun said the suspect will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department SCID for further investigation and diligent prosecution, while an effort is ongoing to arrest other fleeing suspects
