‘OAU student’s body dumped on refuse site’

The police investigator also said he observed that the DVR that powers the hotel’s CCTV cameras was disabled and he was told that it was due to the ongoing renovation in the hotel.

“I visited Room 305 where the deceased was lodged. It was observed that the mattress inside the room was new compared to the ones in the other rooms. I asked why the new mattress. The response was that the hotel was initially known to be Hotel de Ganga and the takeover necessitated the change of some of the mattresses.

“Also, I noticed something like a blood pattern on the door. We decided to lock the room and went away with the key. On our next visit to the room, we went with an expert, the Crime Scene Manager, DSP Kilani, who confirmed that some of the patterns were mere paint and he took the one suspected to be blood for further examination.

“From the statement made by Adeniyi Aderogba and Oyetunde Kazeem, they told me that the corpse was wrapped with a carton and duvet which they put in a sealed bag and carried him at the back of Hilux vehicle driven by Roheem Adedoyin to the point where it was dumped.”

Justice Oyebola Ojo adjourned the case to March 16, 17 and 18.
