community, in Obio/ Akpor LGA of Rivers State has been arrested by
officers of the Rivers State Police Command, for allegedly
murdering his 21-year old girl friend identified as Ifeayinwa Ani.
The lifeless body of Ifeayinwa, who is reported to have been head over
heels in love with her lover-turned-killer to the extent that she
moved him with him even though they were not yet married, was
discovered in front of the Eliozu Health Centre by the Chief Medical
Officer of the centre, Dr. Ama Flag-Amachree, recently.
Dr. Flag-Amachree who reported the matter to the Okporo Divisional
Police Station, disclosed that she notice three incisions on
Ifeanyiwa's buttocks which she had reason to believe where caused by
injection syringe. The Chief Medical Officer told the police that
Ifeayinwa's lifeless body was dumped in front of the health centre by
unknown persons.
But according to police investigation, Ahamehule who attended
Government Technical College, Port Harcourt and his heartthrob had a
cosy relationship until he alleged that the late Ifeayinwa started
receiving some suspicious phone calls, supposedly from members of the
opposite sex.
Ahamehule tearfully confided in the police during questioning that he
was enraged by the frequent calls from unknown persons, and in anger,
he asked Ifeayinwa out of his family house where they had been
cohabiting since 2012. Ifeayinwa's father, Godwin Ani, told the police
at Okporo Police Station that Ifeayinwa, his fourth daughter, was
cohabiting with Ahamehule before her death.
Ani told the police that he never approved of his daughter's decision
to move in with her man, saying he had gone to Ahamehule's family and
asked his daughter to return home, but his plea fell on deaf ears,
even as Ifeayinwa had claimed that Ahamehule owed her the sum of
N51,000, and vowed not to return to her father until Ahamehule paid
his alleged debt.
Upon Dr. Flag-Amachree's shock find and the statement made to the
police by Ifeayinwa's father, the police at Okporo Divisional Police
went to Ahamehule's family home to arrest the suspect, but discovered
that he had absconded from his family home. Ahamehule later came to
the police station with his lawyer. Ahamehule in his statement to the
police stated that he saw Ifeayinwa last in November last year.
He disclosed that he gave her N20, 000 which she needed for an
abortion. Speaking on the matter, the Rivers State Commissioner of
Police, Mr. Tunde Ogunsakin, stressed: "It is important that parents
should stress the importance of living a responsible life to their
children…
Abortion is a dangerous option, and so people who have no desire to
raise children should abstain… many things are happening. We need to
properly instruct our children and wards," he said.
Ogunsakin, however, said that the matter has been referred to the
State Criminal Investigation Department of the Police Command for
further investigation, adding that Ahamehule will be charged to court
if found guilty.
