A member of the National Youth Service Corps in Ibadan, Miss Omolola Abogunrin, has been raped and murdered by unknown criminals thirteen days to her wedding.

She was looking forward to her wedding which was scheduled for October 17, the day she would have been 29 years old.     

According to The Nation, Miss Abogunrin was raped and strangled beside a stream within the expansive premises of the National Cereal Research Institute, Moor Plantation, Ibadan at about 1:30 pm on Sunday.

Residents said she was returning from church when she was waylaid by the unknown criminals in a bush path within the institute’s farmland.

She was said to be on her way to her lover’s house to spend some time with a plan to return home afterwards.

Omolola graduated from the Polytechnic, Ibadan.

Police are still on the trail of the murderers and her fiance, Olusola Babalola, has been arrested and detained as part of police investigation on the broad-daylight murder.
