Lover of strangled NYSC member regains freedom

  

Mr Olusola Babalola, who is the lover of the 29-year old corps member strangled in Ibadan, has regained freedom from police.

Babalola was released Thursday evening according to the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Oyo State, Mr Adekunle Ajisebutu.

His release came after spending four nights in the police

custody following the murder of Miss Abogunrin Sunday evening in Apata area of Ibadan, the state capital.

He was arrested for being the last person to speak with the deceased on telephone before her death.

Miss Abogunrin was raped and killed about 1,000 metres away from Babalola’s house. She was on her way to the latter when she was attacked by unknown criminals who raped and snuffed life out of her.

The incident occurred at about 1:30 pm last Sunday.

The love birds had slated their wedding for October 17, the day Omolola would have turned 29 years old.

In a telephone interview Sunday, Ajisebutu disclosed that Mr Babalola was released in the course of investigation, pointing out that anyone suspected to be capable of giving useful information would be interrogated.

He vowed that the police would eventually track down Omolola’s killers.
