Two Ex-Classmates Arrested for Abduction and Murder of 17-Year-Old UTME Candidate in Lagos
The Lagos State Police Command announced the arrest of two suspects in Ikorodu on credible intelligence. Authorities say 23-year-old Elijah Emmanuel and 21-year-old Tony Ekwen Ogenata lured their 17-year-old former classmate, Thompson Adams, after he left a UTME centre on April 22. They killed him, placed his body in a bag and abandoned it in the community. Further questioning linked both men to the November 2025 kidnapping and murder of a young woman. Investigators revealed they collected a N300,000 ransom and then killed the victim. The police commissioner stated that the suspects will be formally charged in court once investigations conclude.
