According to the statement, Adekamla was brutally attacked and killed by unknown assailants at her residence in Dutse. The incident came to light on Friday, 15th February 2024, around 1600hrs, when her neighbors reported that they had last seen her on Monday.

Upon receiving the report, detectives from the Dutse Division swiftly responded and proceeded to Adekamla’s house. Upon arrival, they discovered that the house was locked, with signs of forced entry indicated by a broken door. Tragically, Adekamla’s lifeless body was found in the sitting room, lying in a pool of blood. Visible cuts were observed on her head and neck, and her body had already started decomposing.
