The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested eight people in connection with the murder and rape of Olajide Blessing, a University of Ilorin 300-level agricultural science student.
The deceased was gagged before her attackers raped her to death.
She was left with injuries all over her body at her Tanke residence, University road, Ilorin.
Many civil society organizations around the country had condemned the event.
They had asked that the criminals responsible for the heinous deed be brought to justice.
Several DSS sources who talked to our reporter on the condition of anonymity verified the news, adding that the suspects are cooperating with the investigation.
But when contacted for comment on their arrest, the spokesperson of DSS, Nnochirionye Afunanya, requested that a text message be sent.
He was yet to respond to the message after over seven hours before this report was filed.
But the Kwara State Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), Mumini Jimoh (SAN), confirmed that some suspects had been arrested over the issue and will be arraigned before Justice I.A. Jusuf on Wednesday.
