A 24-year-old final-year student of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT), Victor Ochonogor, has been arrested over alleged murder.
He was accused of stabbing his girlfriend, Success Regha, to death at their residence located at 10, Osahon Street, Ogheghe Quarters, off Sapele Road, Benin City.
The couple, who have been together for three years, were engaged in an altercation and in the process, the suspect stabbed the deceased in the neck and chest with a knife.
The suspect’s landlord, Emmanuel Momoh, reported the incident at the Police Station. Detectives immediately moved to the scene, arrested the suspect and recovered two blood-stained knives.
The body of the deceased has been deposited in a morgue.
While he was paraded by Edo State Commissioner of Police, CP Muhammed Dankwara, on Wednesday, the suspect, an Applied and Industrial Chemistry student, told journalists that he was enraged because his late girlfriend accused him of being a kidnapper.
“She came from Asaba to Benin to visit me and while we were together, I found in her possession a substance suspected to be diabolical.
“I have been dating her for three years, and the family accused me of being a kidnapper. I asked her why her family accused me of such when we had been together for such a time.
“I have been seeing her with Kayamata and I also saw a message in her phone that she was also dating another person. An argument ensued and we started fighting, so I stabbed her,” he said.
In the same vein, 31-year-old Efosa Osayande was arrested for allegedly releasing the nude picture of his ex-girlfriend to the public. In contrast, one Etinosa Omoregie, attached to the Nigeria Hunters and Forest Security Service was arrested for allegedly shooting a man, simply identified as Eric, dead.
