A 22-year-old National Diploma, ND, student of the Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo, Ondo State, Oweniwe Chukwudi, who murdered his girlfriend, has denied killing her for ritual purpose, but for the fun of it. He said:
“I did not remove any part of her body; I only killed her for the fun of it. I made love with her in the bush before killing her. I am not a cultist. It was when I killed her that I realised I made a big mistake and I wept bitterly”
Speaking after his arrest by police detectives in Ondo State, Oweniwe, whose parents are cassava farmers in Ogbese area of the state, said he was pushed by the devil. Chukwudi and the girlfriend, Adeyeye Nifemi, were both in 300 level in the Science Laboratory Technology, SLT, department.
Vanguard gathered that the suspect tricked the girlfriend to Ayede
Ogbese, about 10 to 15 kilometres away from campus, where he carried out
the act. He left her in the bush, thinking she was dead, only to return
the next day to find her alive. Reports had it that the suspect went
back to the bush where he left the girlfriend in company of another
person to carry out the ritual, when he surprisingly met her still
alive.
While pretending to help her, the suspect reportedly took her to a camp
close to a filling station in Ilu Abo, where he strangled her again.
When she didn’t die, he reportedly smashed her head with stones until
she died. Ondo state Police Commissioner, Hilda Harrison, said acting on
a tip-off, the victim was arrested and during interrogation confessed
to committing the crime. Harrison said that the suspect would be charged
to court after the conclusion of investigation.
