The lifeless body of Sarah Ojodomo Idoko, a final‑year student of Federal University Lokoja, was discovered along the Felele–Lokoja Road near the Crusher area on Saturday night. Eyewitnesses said a vehicle stopped briefly at about 8 p.m. before speeding away; passers‑by later found the body and alerted authorities. An initial misidentification occurred after an identity card from Kogi State Polytechnic was recovered, but police clarified she was a Federal University Lokoja student. The Kogi State Police Commissioner confirmed an investigation has begun.
Key Points:
- A young woman’s life was cut short just before graduation, devastating her family.
- The Felele corridor, a major gateway to Lokoja, has a history of security incidents.
- Student safety on and off campus is now under renewed scrutiny.
- Police investigation must determine whether this was murder, an accident, or foul play.
- The Association of Nigerian Female Students has called for stronger safety measures around campuses.
Police say details of the investigation will be made public at the appropriate time, while students and residents demand improved security along the Felele axis.
