LASU graduate missing, not killed by ritualists – Police

The Lagos State Police Command has dismissed reports of the alleged ritual killing of a 28-year-old Lagos State University graduate, Adedamola Ogunbode.

The command spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, while reacting to an inquiry by PUNCH Metro, on Wednesday confirmed that Ogunbode was declared missing.

He, however, clarified that his mutilated body was not found as circulated on social media.

However, Hundeyin confirmed that three suspects had been arrested in connection with the case, including a prophet.

He said, “A report was made to the police that the said graduate was missing and three suspects were arrested, including a prophet.  However, the police did not discover any mutilated body of the missing graduate as being circulated on social media.  He is still missing and we are investigating a case of a missing person, not murder. There is no dead person anywhere.”

The development came after the management of the university demanded justice for the missing graduate who was alleged to have been killed by the prophet.
