Late Dr. (Mrs) Adefolalu Funmilola Sherifat was found dead in her apartment with her throat slit

The chairperson of the Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) in the school  Professor Gbolahan Bolarin, said the body of the deceased was discovered on Sunday morning, October 29, when her church members traced her home after she was not seen during service.

Some residents according to Channels TV reports, said after forcing the door to her house open, she was found in her pool of blood with her throat slit and knives found beside her. Police authorities later moved the body to the mortuary.

Until her death, she was staying with a female house help but laid off the girl on Friday, October 27.

Afekafe, a student of Day Secondary School, Gidan Kuka, named her accomplices as Walex and Smart.

She said she decided to attack Adefolalu over her decision to send her away from her house for misbehaving.

She said the Lecturer took her in with a promise to sponsor her education but opted out following her consistent misbehaviour in the three weeks she was with her.

She said she decided to attack Adefolalu over her decision to send her away from her house for misbehaving.

She said during the attack, Walex said there was no need leaving Adefolalu alive as she would report them to the police.

Afekafe told newsmen: “It was Walex who said that she would recognise 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.”

The spokesman of the Niger State Police Command, Abiodun Wasiu, said the police were still on the trail of Walex and Smart.

Wasiu, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, said investigation was ongoing and that the case would be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation and prosecution.
