The remains of the final year student of Kwara State College of Education, Ilorin, Kwara State, Hafsoh Lawal who was allegedly murdered by her Facebook boyfriend, AbdulRahman Bello, have finally been laid to rest.
LEADERSHIP gathered that the remains of Hafsoh were on Monday interred at a cemetery in the Sango area of Ilorin according to Islamic rites.
The burial followed the release of her dismembered parts as requested her family by a Kwara State High Court, sitting in Ilorin.
The late Hafsoh’s father, Mr. Ibrahim Lawal Adefalu confirmed the burial of her daughter.
Hafsoh’s family had on Monday requested the court to release her dismembered body for proper burial in accordance with the Islamic rites.
Kwara State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Barr. Ibrahim Sulyman, leading the prosecution team made the request during the continuation of hearing on Monday.
The defence counsel, Mr. Chukwudi Maduka, who represented the first prime suspect, AbdulRahman Bello, did not object to the request, saying that he sympathised with the family despite the ongoing prosecution.
The court consequently ordered the release of Hafsoh’s remains to her family.
Bello and four others – Ahmed Abdulwasiu, Suleiman Muhydeen, Jamiu Uthman and AbdulRahman Jamiu were standing trial on the charges of conspiracy and murder of Hafsoh.
