Christiana Idowu was kidnapped in August along the Ikorodu-Yaba Road. Her abductors used her personal WhatsApp account to contact her family, and she was reported missing on August 19, 2024. The kidnappers sent photos of her in captivity using WhatsApp’s "view once" feature, demanding ₦1.5 million in ransom. Despite her parents raising ₦350,000, which was transferred to a betting account as instructed, the tragic outcome followed.

The prime suspect, Adeleye Ayomide, has been apprehended by the army and handed over to the police. Ayra Starr’s call for justice highlights the growing demand for accountability and the need for improved safety for women in Nigeria.
