The Rivers State Police Command has arrested a man, simply identified as Kelechi, accused of murdering his lover, Ifeoma Uzoigwe, popularly called Oyibo, in their apartment in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
The Caretaker of the compound, Chinonye Anurum, revealed the development to newsmen in Port Harcourt on Monday.
Anurum said he was made aware of the arrest when he was called by operatives at Nkpolu Police Division, Mile 3, Diobu on Thursday and was taken to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department.
He said at the SCIID, he wrote another statement after the first statement he wrote in December when he first reported the incident to Nkpolu Police Division.
He said Kelechi was nabbed with the help of his immediate family, who trailed him to his hideout almost a month after the incident.
Anurum disclosed that the tenants got to know about the incident, which reportedly occurred early December 2021, through the deceased’s female friend.
