“I killed my girlfriend for the fun of it” -man confesses (photo)

Oweniwe Chukwudi, a 22-year-old National Diploma, ND, student of the Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo, Ondo State, who murdered his girlfriend Nifemi Adeyeye, has revealed his reason for killing her. Chukwudi said he killed her for the fun of it not for ritual purpose. 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.
According to Vanguard, Chukwudi tricked his 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.
