Lady Stabs Lover In Anambra Over Abortion Request
By Emmanuel Awosika
A lady, Onyinye Chime, is cooling her heels in police detention after allegedly killing her lover, Eleyi Azubuike, after he asked her to abort her pregnancy.
The unfortunate event had occurred in the Idemili Local Government Area of Anambra State.
According to reports, Azubuike had urged Chime to remove the pregnancy, a request which had reportedly angered her.
The Anambra State Police Spokesperson, Haruna Mohammed, confirmed the incident and arrest in a chat with journalists.
He stated, “There was a report of alleged murder of one Eleyi Azubuike, 29, of Ochiagha Street, Nkpor, in the Idemili North LGA of Anambra State by his girlfriend one Onyinye, 25, of same Ochiagha Street, Nkpor, inside his room.
“Police detectives attached to Ogidi division visited the scene and rushed the victim, who was found in a pool of blood, to Iyi Enu Mission Hospital, Ogidi, for medical attention, where he was certified dead by a medical doctor. The corpse was deposited at the hospital’s mortuary for an autopsy.
“A careful observation of the deceased’s body revealed stab wounds on his chest, while a bloodstained kitchen knife was recovered as an exhibit at the scene.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that the deceased allegedly impregnated the suspect and wanted an abortion, which she declined and demanded some money for her upkeep, which the deceased refused to oblige.
“That eventually led to a scuffle which resulted in the man being stabbed to death.”
