The argument went overboard as Tochukwu used a pestle to hit her to death. The suspect after murdering his girlfriend made away with her Toyota Camry car, her phone, television and other household items.

Luck however ran out on him on November after he had already changed the car documents and sold it for N1.7 million.

According to the suspect, he met Felix on Facebook in 2020 after which he moved into her apartment. He claimed that he was being abused in the relationship.

Recounting how she learnt of her sister's death, the elder sister to the deceased told newsmen that she received a call from the caretaker of the residence informing her that her sister had not been seen for days.

She rushed to the apartment and was greeted by a foul odour but her sister's car was not parked in the premises.
After learning that a report had been made at Lugbe Police Station, she went there but was asked to return the following day as the investigating police officer (IPO) was not on duty.

"The next day, we went there (Lugbe Police Station). Then we were able to meet the IPO. They had already made arrangements for the environmental (agency). We were even at that police station when the environmental people came. All of us went to the compound.

"They went in; they brought out my sister, wrapped in her centre rug. She was smelling already. That means the smell I was perceiving (the day before) was my sister. She had been there for days, smelling! That was how we took her to Gwagwalada Hospital and deposited the body.

"The car was not there. The tele was not there. The phones were not there. But you could see the charging things there. And they told me that the guy in question was the last person that came that Monday (to her apartment) and they didn't see when he left and the car had not been there since he left,ÔÇØ she added.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi said the arrest of the suspect followed the directive of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba to fish out the culprit and to ensure no stone is left unturned in dealing with criminal elements.
