January 11th after telling a staff of her aunt's that she was
going to meet up with her boyfriend of over two years…some
guy named Ifeanyi.
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.
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.
