MAPOLY Beauty Queen Kidnapped And Killed

Happiness Odeh, a student of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY) in Abeokuta, Ogun State, has been kidnapped and killed in the State.

Gatekeepers News reports that Odeh, an ND2 student of Mass Communication who won the Miss MAPOLY beauty contest on August 3, 2022, was said to have been kidnapped on her way to Ipara, in Ode Remo on Tuesday evening.

She was reportedly kidnapped along Iperu road by some unknown persons who it was gathered, raped her before killing her in cold blood.

The MAPOLY Students Union (MAPSU), has confirmed the incident in a statement signed by the Students Union President, Sodiq Ajani and the Public Relations Officer, Joy Okolie.

The statement said the deceased was kidnapped days ago while going to visit a movie location.

It reads: “Moshood Abiola Polytechnic Students Union (MAPSU) announces the untimely death of Miss Happiness Odeh, a Mass Communication student of MAPOLY.

“According to reports, she was abducted along Iperu road to her destination. The deceased left Abeokuta three days ago to visit a movie location at Ipara, Ode-Remo, with the consent of her parents.

“Contrary to the rumours flying around, her death is not related to her status as the new Miss MAPOLY. She won the award on the 3rd of August and the movie location she attended has nothing to do with the beauty pageantry on campus.

“We commiserate with her family, friends and colleagues. May Almighty God grant us all the fortitude to bear this painful loss. Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord.”
