A 23-year-old man, Christian Samuel, has been arrested for allegedly killing his girlfriend by forcing her to drink acid.
Samuel, who has been remanded in the Ikoyi Prison by an Ebute Meta Magistrate’s Court, allegedly forced Ijeoma Nwachukwu, 26, to drink acid while they were together at Cossy-Inn Hotel, Abule-Oshun, Lagos State.
The police said Nwachukwu had gotten engaged to another man without Samuel’s knowledge. Samuel pretended not be offended and invited Nwachukwu to the hotel on January 11, where he forced her to drink acid leading to her death.
Samuel abandoned the corpse in the hotel and fled. Police said the owner of the hotel, Olusegun Sangojumo, who allegedly discovered the corpse, did not report to police.
Rather Sangojumo allegedly instructed 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.
Samuel has been charged with murder and Sangojumo, Ajibola and Olaitan have charged with accessory after the fact.
