A 17-year-old boy, Thompson Adams Omokafe, was reportedly abducted and killed shortly after finishing his 2026 UTME in Lagos.
What should have been a moment of relief turned into horror when he was allegedly lured by two former schoolmates, Elijah Emmanuel (23) and Tony Ogenata (21).
The suspects reportedly kidnapped him and demanded a ransom of ₦150 million from his family, but later collected about ₦200,000.
Shockingly, even after receiving the money, they allegedly strangled him to death because he could identify them.
His lifeless body was said to have been stuffed into a bag and dumped in a canal in Awoyaya, Ibeju-Lekki.
The Lagos State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of both suspects.
