Akure—The
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 reported 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.
