A 28-yr old man identified as Ahamehule Chukwu has been
arrested by the Rivers State Police Command for the alleged murder of
his 21-yr old girlfriend.
The
body of the victim identified as Ifeayinwa Ani was discovered in front
of the Eliozu Health Centre and reported to the Okporo Divisional Police
Station by the Chief Medical Officer of the health centre, Dr. Ama
Flag-Amachree, who also revealed to the policemen that she noticed three
incisions, possibly made by injection syringes, on the buttocks of the
deceased.
The Chief Medical Officer in her reports told the police
officers that Ifeayinwa's body was dumped in front of the health centre
by unidentified persons.
The deceased before her death was said
to have loved her boyfriend, who is also believed to have murdered her,
so much that she moved into his apartment and started living with him
even though they were not married.
Investigations carried
out by the police revealed that Ahamehule who attended Government
Technical College, Port Harcourt and deceased girlfriend were supposedly
in a very happy relationship until he noticed she started receiving
phone calls from members of the opposite sex which he termed suspicious.
Ahamehule
tearfully revealed to the police during questioning that he got so
aggravated by the frequent calls from unknown persons, that in anger, he
sent Ifeayinwa packing from his family house where she had been living
with him since 2012.
The father of the deceased, Godwin Ani, also
confirmed to police that his daughter and Ahamehule had been living
together before her death even though he never approved of it, his pleas
for her to return home had all been disregarded and Ifeayinwa had told
him that Ahamehule owed her the sum of N51,000, and vowed not to return
to her father until Ahamehule paid his alleged debt.
Officers of
the Okporo Divisional Police had gone to Ahamehule's house to arrest him
following Dr. Flag-Amachree's report and Mr. Ani's statement, to arrest
him, only to find that he had absconded from home. He later showed up
at the police station accompanied by his lawyer.
According to the
statement tendered by Ahamehule, he last saw the deceased in November
last year, adding that he had given her N20,000 which she needed to
carry out an abortion.
The Rivers State Commissioner of Police,
Mr. Tunde Ogunsakin, confirmed that the case has been referred to the
State Criminal Investigation Department of the Police Command for
further investigation, and that Ahamehule will be charged to court if
found guilty
