Benin City, Edo State – In a major breakthrough, the Edo State Police Command has announced the arrest of a suspect in the brutal murder of Glory Adekolure, a 22-year-old final-year Chemistry student of the University of Benin (UNIBEN).

According to reports, Adekolure was found dead under a tree in the Iyowa Community of Benin City, near her residence, on June 13, 2024, shortly after visiting the university for her final clearance.

Following a painstaking investigation, the police apprehended the suspect in Asaba, Delta State, 15 days after the gruesome discovery.

“I am happy to inform the good people of Edo State and the good people of Nigeria that the killer of Glory Adekolure, a 22-year-old final year Chemistry student of the University of Benin, has been apprehended,” Commissioner Adegboye said in an interview with Channels Television. “He was apprehended in Asaba, Delta state. After killing Glory, he ran away, but he was aware we were trailing him, and due to the painstaking investigations of our anti-kidnapping and cybercrime unit, he was arrested and confessed not only to the killing of Glory Adekolure but to the killing of eight other similar ladies.”

The police chief attributed the success of the operation to the tireless efforts of the anti-kidnapping and cybercrime unit, saying, “The suspect was arrested due to the diligent efforts of our team, who worked tirelessly to track him down.”

The suspect is currently in police custody, and the investigation is ongoing. The police have not yet paraded the suspect, citing the need to complete further investigations.
