In response to the report, detectives from the Anti-Kidnapping Unit employed forensic tracking technology, which led them to Lagos.
There, an iPhone 14 Pro Max belonging to one of the victims was traced to Computer Village in Ikeja.
At the location, officers arrested 38-year-old Abdul Mohammed Mubarak, who confessed to having purchased the phone from a man identified as Ojo Michael.
Michael was subsequently apprehended in Aramoko-Ekiti, where he was found in possession of the victims’ Lexus RX 350.
Under interrogation, he disclosed the full extent of the crime, admitting that he and others had abducted the students on the orders of Mr Oladele Femi, the landlord of Mr Abah John.
During their captivity, N800,000 was withdrawn from the victims’ account.
Michael further confessed to having sexually assaulted the female victim. Upon realising she had recognised him, both victims were murdered in an attempt to conceal the perpetrators’ identities.
The bodies were disposed of at separate locations between Agbado and Ode-Ekiti.
Following Michael’s confession, the police arrested Mr Oladele Femi, who confirmed that he had masterminded the entire plot.
He also led officers to a bush near Ode-Ekiti, where the body of the female victim was recovered.
Efforts are ongoing to locate the remains of the male victim, believed to have been dumped in a river.
The case has been described by authorities as one of the most shocking and brutal in recent memory.
