@TheOluwabukunmi wrote:

"He killed his sister, buried her in their house. His parents did nothing. They shielded him. And now two other women are dead because he didn’t face any consequences the first time. Christianah Idowu is dead because the first victim didn’t receive justice. #JusticeForChristianah."

Dipo Awojide wrote:

"I hope the police will fully investigate Adeleye Ayomide, a 200 level student of Philosophy at Olabisi Onabanjo University. Once they find him guilty of the murder of Christianah Idowu he should be hanged. That should be one less problem in Nigeria. #JusticeForChristianah."
