This 26-year-old graduate of the Federal Polytechnic, Idah,Muhammed Adamu (pictured above) was stabbed to death and his body dumped at Ijora Road, Apapa, Lagos.
Muhammed, who was awaiting his call-up letter for the National Youth Service Corps left home on Saturday to attend a friend’s wedding but didn’t return….only for his body to be found on Sunday Oct. 5.
The deceased father said his son had attended a wedding ceremony of one of the staff members of the company where he’s temporarily working while awaiting his Youth Service. He tells Punch:
“On Sunday, he received a text message that they should meet at a hotel in FESTAC Town for an after-party. He said the party was organised for just members of staff of the company. He left the house around 4pm and that was the last time I saw my son alive.”
We went to Alaba Suru and searched, but we didn’t find him. So, we reported at the Layeni Police Station which was close to the place. They told me they saw his corpse on the road and they had taken him to the mortuary.
I want the police to make a thorough investigation into my son’s killing. I believe some people killed him and took his corpse to Suru Alaba to make it look like he was killed there. He was a gentle and hardworking son who had been preparing for his NYSC when these wicked people took him somewhere and killed him.”
A staff of the company, told Punch that the deceased had been persuaded not to leave the party on the night of the incident, but he refused.
“Even the bride, who works in the company and in whose honour the party was held, asked him if he was going to see a girl or a man, but he didn’t answer. He just said he had to leave the party because the call was urgent,” the source said.
