A young man identified as Ifeanyi Njoky has been arrested by the Lagos state police command for allegedly killing his girlfriend, Precious Okeke, 24, in an estate at Badore, in the Ajah area of Lagos State.
The duo were live-in lovers on Oke Street and it was alleged that Njoku killed his girlfriend for ritual purposes.
Reports also say that a native doctor who was assisting the suspect, instructed him to have sex with Okeke’s corpse.
The suspect carried out the bizarre act for 6 days but was nabbed after the stench emanating from his apartment prompted his neighbours to inform the management of the estate.
Speaking to Punch, an eyewitness said that, “The boy killed his girlfriend about six days ago, and he confessed that he wanted to use the girl for money rituals. He said he was told that he should have sex with his girlfriend’s corpse for seven days, but he was caught on the sixth day. Today (Monday) is supposed to make it the seventh day.
“The smell of the corpse had been disturbing neighbours in the compound and other residents. So, they called the estate chairman to help in confirming what was going on in the apartment and while searching the apartment, they found the girl’s body.
“The boy was arrested and taken to the Lamgbasa Police Station and during interrogation, he confessed that he killed his girlfriend six days ago.
“We learnt that the boy offered N6m to kill the case; we also learnt that he brought the girlfriend from the village and they just moved into the estate.”
The state police public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed the incident and added that the deceased and the suspect were lovers.
According to Hundeyin,
“Two suspects, Ifeanyi Njoku and Mbam Atunmufor, 36, have been arrested. They have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba, for further investigation. Njoku was the one that rented the apartment.”
