Adekunle Gold calls out men following tragic death of Idowu Christianah

• Idowu Christianah, a 300-level FUNAAB student, was abducted on August 19, 2024. Despite paying ₦350,000 of the ₦1.5 million ransom, she was killed.
• Adeleye Ayomide, an Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU) student, has been arrested in connection with the crime.
• Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold called on men to confront abusive behaviors, stand against abuse, and redefine masculinity by holding each other accountable.

Popular Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold has taken to social media to deliver a poignant message to men in light of the recent tragedy involving Idowu Christianah, a student of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB).

On August 19, 2024, Christianah was reported missing after her abductors used her WhatsApp account to demand a ₦1.5 million ransom from her parents.

Despite paying a reduced amount of ₦350,000 as requested by the kidnappers, Christianah was tragically killed.

It was later discovered that Adeleye Ayomide, an undergraduate at Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), was responsible for her abduction and murder.

Ayomide allegedly buried Christianah on his property, and further investigations suggest he may have been involved in similar violent incidents in the past.

In response to this harrowing event, Adekunle Gold took to his X account to address the issue.

His message read:

“Men, true strength is not about staying silent but about standing up to your friends who abuse, rape, or demean women. Let’s redefine masculinity by holding each other accountable. #JusticeForChristianah.”
