26 year old Ijeoma Nwachukwu met her untimely death when she went
missing last Saturday January 11th after telling a staff of her aunt
that she was going to see her boyfriend, Ifeanyi of over two years.
According
to family sources, Ijeoma left home around 9.30 that Saturday morning
to her aunt's shop at the Tradefair complex to help with cleaning. By
the time she was done by 4 that evening, she told the other lady she
worked with that she was going to meet up with her boyfriend, who had
come to the store earlier in the day to give her some kind of chemical
to keep for him. The boyfriend then called Ijeoma and asked her to meet
him at a hotel called Cossy Hotel at Abuleosun near Tradefair.
That
was the last anyone heard from Ijeoma until the police alerted her
family on Monday January 13th and told them that her body had been found
in a bush near the hotel.
The supposedly boyfriend, Ifeanyi later
confessed that he killed her by forcing the chemical, believed to be
acid, down her throat, after which he strangled her. Ijeoma's family say
he confessed to the police that he killed her because she wanted to
marry someone else.
According to her family, after killing his
girlfriend, Ifeanyi fled the hotel in a bike. It was the hotel staff
that found her body and got someone to alert the police. But in the
meantime they removed her corpse from their hotel and kept it in a
nearby bush.
The deceased is from Ngwa, Abia state, while the
alleged killer is from Enugu and until this incident, worked as an
apprentice for a business owner at Tradefair. The case has been
transferred to PANTI from Onireke Police station.
