A man named Ifeanyi Njoku has been apprehended for the alleged murder of his girlfriend, Precious Okeke, in an estate located in Badore, Ajah, Lagos State.
The incident took place on Oke Street, where Njoku allegedly killed his girlfriend as part of a money ritual.
It was rumoured that a local spiritual practitioner instructed Njoku to engage in sexual intercourse with Okeke’s lifeless body.
NEWSTODAYNG gathered that he engaged in the gruesome act with the corpse for six days, leading to a foul odor emanating from his apartment.
This triggered concerned neighbours to inform the estate security personnel, who conducted a search and discovered the girl’s body.
According to an eyewitness, Elizabeth John, confirmed the discovery and revealed that Njoku confessed to the murder, stating that he intended to use Okeke for money rituals.
He claimed that he had been instructed to have sex with her corpse for seven days, but he was caught on the final day.
The estate chairman was summoned to assess the situation, and during the apartment search, the girl’s body was found which led to the arrest of Njoku and was taken to the Lamgbasa Police Station.
It was also revealed that Njoku had brought his girlfriend from their village, and they were living together before the tragic incident occurred.
