He explained that contrary to what Oluwole told the police, Biola’s body have marks obviously sustained from beating. Her neck, face, and body had dark patches because she is a fair complexion. From the state of her corpse it is very oblivious she didn’t die from falling, rather the marks on her body show she was beaten and strangled to death.
Jinadu said: “We are still trying to raise two hundred and fifty thousand naira for her autopsy as demanded by the doctor.”
The suspect was said to have attempted to escape from the hospital after Biola was declared dead before he was caught and handed over to the police.
According to another relative of the deceased, said the police is yet to visit the scene of the incident because the family has failed to provide logistics which they asked for.

The police was said to have assured the family of the deceased that justice will be done and the case has been transferred to the state criminal investigation department in Akure for further investigation.
