Oladokun Ayomide, a final-year student at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, has been detained by the Ogun State Police Command on suspicion of poisoning two women: Odumosu Semilore and Ugbokwe Mmasichukwu.
The suspect, according to the police, gave his girlfriend a poisoning on Friday after inviting her to his house in the Surulere neighbourhood of the city’s Camp neighbourhood. The poison is believed to be a concoction of brownie cakes, vodka, and an unspecified hazardous chemical.
While they were travelling to the suspect’s residence, there is a rumour that Mmasichukwu invited her friend Semilore to accompany her to her boyfriend’s home in the Surulere community, Camp, Abeokuta.

Our correspondent learned that the victims were rushed to the hospital as soon as they passed out from the poisonous cake, following the administration of the possibly dangerous item.
A preliminary inquiry by the police found that Ayomide was suspected of intending to injure the victims, albeit the reason for the suspect’s activity was still unknown at the time this report was filed.
Olusola Ajibola, the Chief Security Officer of the Federal College of Education, Osiele Abeokuta, led the arrest of the suspect. He informed the police that Ayomide was a final-year student at FUNAAB, while Mmasichukwu and Semilore were students of the college.
When our correspondent contacted Omolola Odutola, the public relations officer, she informed us that the victims were responding to treatment and that additional investigation was underway to determine the circumstances behind the tragedy.
The victims were reportedly given brownie cake; after consuming it, they reportedly lost consciousness right away. They were then brought to the Osiele Medical Centre for treatment.
When our police went to the crime scene, they discovered a foil paper pack that had been used for the brownie cake. The school’s chief security officer turned over the suspect to the police division, according to Odutola’s Tuesday statement.
