A man known only as Collins was taken into custody after it was claimed that his girlfriend, a 300-level University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) undergraduate, was murdered.
The unfortunate event happened in Rivers State’s Obio/Akpor Local Government Area along NTA Road, Mgbuoba.
Justina Otuene Nkang, a student studying biological chemistry, passed just four days after being reported missing.
When she was last seen, she was reportedly completing her Industrial Training assignment at a well-known private hospital in Port Harcourt’s D/Line district.
A source close to the victim said Justina’s decomposing and mutilated remains were seen in her boyfriend’s apartment, whom she had visited after the close of work at the hospital four days ago.
According to the source, the deceased was murdered by her lover for ritual purposes, as her breast, eyes and other sensitive parts of her body were mutilated.
The source stated, “So he (the suspect) after committing the crime kept her body in his apartment for three days and just when he wanted to dispose her corpse in refuse dump, a vigilante group in the area accosted him, leading to his arrest.”
Meanwhile, a viral online post seen by our correspondent on Thursday morning read, “Otuene Justina Nkang was reported to be missing four days ago.
“She was a 300 levels student of Biological Chemistry in UNIPORT, but unfortunately, she was killed by her boyfriend who tried disposing of her body this evening but was caught. The suspect has been handed over to the police.”
