One of her friends, Tanwa Adekunle, who spoke to NewTelegraph, described the death of Oshunuga as mystifying.

“Tawa was with her boyfriend throughout Saturday and Sunday. When she returned from her guy’s place on Sunday, she didn’t go straight home.

She came to play with us. We joked with her that she had gone to satisfy herself. We told her to go home and see her mother.
