Meet the five Nigerian students arrested for Godwin Ayogu's murder

Five students of the University of Cape Coast,
Ghana, have been arrested in connection with
the gruesome murder of 19 year old Godwin
Ayogu, who was also a student of the school.
Sadly, all the students arrested are Nigerians,
worst still, they were his friends. One in
particular was his roommate.
The students arrested are: Ogunsanyo Abayomi
(the roommate), Obi Mnaetochi Brendan
Ilozumba, Oti Uchechukwu Chijooke, Jimoh
Oluwatobiloba Timileyin and Isaac Ifidon (all
pictured above).

It is believed that Ayogu was killed over money
on the school campus. His body, with legs and
hands tied, throat slit and intestines gushing out (last pic right), was then dumped at Amamoma on the outskirts of the university.
His cause of death after a post-mortem
examination, was given as stab wounds to the
heart.

The Homicide Unit of the Police Criminal
Investigations Department, Headquarters, Accra
said after investigation, what they found out was that Ayogu's roommate, Ogunsanyo borrowed
money from him to pay his school fees. But
instead of paying back when he promised, he
traveled to the UK, promising to pay back when
he returned.
When he returned, instead of paying back, he
moved out of the campus room he shared with
Ayogu and rented a two-bedroom apartment
outside the campus. Ayogu took the matter to
other Nigerians who are students of the school,
asking them to talk to Ogunsanyo to return his
money.
Ayogu was last seen alive on February 18th. He
was seen in the company of another friend of his named Oluwatobiloba. The two had gone to
Ogunsanyo's apartment to demand Ayogu's
money, in the course of which a scuffle ensued
between Ayogu and Ogunsanyo.
The next morning Ayogu's body was discovered.
All five students disappeared from campus as
soon as Ayogu's body was discovered. But
through thorough investigations, police were
able to find out what happened and arrested all
five as soon as they resurfaced on campus
Ghanaian police said the suspects are assisting
them in their investigations.
