Since August 9, 2024, Mojisola had been reported missing. However on August 12th, her body was found at a dump site located in the Aleniboro locality of Ilorin by Mr. Olorunoje – who stumbled upon it while returning from his early morning mosque prayers and immediately alerted others after discovering the bleak remains around roughly 7:30 am that day.
According to reports, Mojisola was contacted by Timileyin on August 9th regarding an event being planned by students from Summit University in Offa and Al-Hikmah University in Ilorin. Through the introduction made by Timilehin, Adebayo Happiness – a Summit University student- requested her presence at a night party and offered N15,000 for pretending as his girlfriend during the vent.
