A horrifying incident has shocked the community of Obasa, Mile 6, along Ajebo Road in Abeokuta, Ogun State, following the discovery of the lifeless body of an 18-year-old girl, Habibat Akinsanya. Found brutally murdered on her father's farm, Habibat's tragic death has sparked widespread concern and grief, as police continue their search for the suspect responsible for this heinous crime.
Missing Girl Found Dead on Family Farm
The heartbreaking sequence of events began when Habibat Akinsanya, who had been reported missing by her family, was found dead under deeply distressing circumstances. Her body, bearing multiple injuries and with her hands bound behind her back, was discovered on her father's farm in Obasa, Abeokuta. This discovery came after frantic efforts by her family and the authorities to locate her, following her sudden disappearance.
According to police reports, the victim’s family grew alarmed when Habibat failed to return home and did not show up at her sister's Point of Sale (POS) shop as expected. In response, her father promptly reported her missing to the Kemta Police Division, initiating a search for her whereabouts. The search, however, took a tragic turn when the police received a distressing call reporting that Habibat’s body had been found on the family’s farm.

As investigations into this violent crime commenced, the Ogun State Police Command revealed the identity of the prime suspect in the case.
