23-Year Old Man Forces Girlfriend To Drink Conc. Acid For Dumping Him

A 23-year-old man, Christian Samuel, has
been remanded in the Ikoyi Prison by an
Ebute Meta Magistrate’s Court for
allegedly killing his girlfriend, Ijeoma
Nwachukwu.
And according to Punch, the police said
Samuel forced Ijeoma, 26, who he had
been dating for sometime to drink acid
while they were together at Cossy-Inn
Hotel, Abule-Oshun, Lagos State. 23 years
old Samuel had found out Ijeoma got
engaged to another man without telling
him. He pretended as if nothing
happened and invited the deceased to the
hotel on January 11, 2014, then allegedly
forced her to drink the acid, leading to
her death.
It was learnt that Samuel abandoned
Ijeoma’s corpse in the hotel and fled. The
owner of the hotel, Olusegun Sangojumo,
discovered the corpse, but did not report
to the police. Instead, the 64-year-old
called his manager, Kehinde Ajibola, and
one of the workers, Azeez Olaitan, to
dispose of the corpse at the Mile 2 end of
the Lagos-Badagry Expressway. The police
eventually discovered the corpse and in
the course of investigation, rounded up
all the suspects.
While Samuel was arraigned for murder,
the other three suspects were arraigned
and granted bail for accessory after the
fact. The matter has been adjourned till
April 2, 2014 pending legal advice from
the Directorate of Public Prosecution.
