University of Ibadan Student, Taiwo Shittu Raped and Killed In Her Home

Parents suffer on their children to help them become achievers in life and to also reap the fruits of their labour. What will now be the fate of the parents of this 27 year old Taiwo Omolara Shittu (pictured above), a 500 Level student of the Department of Aquaculture and Fisheries Management, University of Ibadan, who was attacked and killed on the 19th of February at her sister’s home at Opeyemi Street, Gbagi in Ibadan?

Her sister, who she lived with, returned home from work around 5:30pm on Wednesday to find Taiwo in a pool of her own blood, her pants down to her ankle, and a machete stained with blood on the bed. Taiwo had been attacked with the machete as there was an opening on her head.

A man who cuts grass for her sister has been arrested and is currently being held at Alakia Adenubi police station in Ibadan. The man, said to be in his early 30s, has denied any involvement in the murder but it was the machete he uses to cut grass that was found in the crime scene.

The case has been transferred to the State CID.
