A final year student of the University of Portharcourt (UNIPORT), identified simply as Collins has allegedly killed his lover Justina Tiffany Otuene for money ritual.
The Telegraph gathered that the suspect was caught by residents along NTA road Port-Harcourt while he was making attempts to dispose of the lifeless body of the deceased.
According to a blogger, Promise Uzoma Okoro, Collins had invited the deceased who is also a 300-level biochemistry student of the same university to his residence when the incident occurred.
Although details of the incident are still sketchy, reports said the suspect has been arrested by security operatives after the residents raised an alarm.
When contacted by The Telegraph, the Rivers State Police Public Relations Officer, Grace Iringe-Koko simply said, “I will get back to you on this report please”.
