We were fighting over who infected the other with HIV- man arrested for k!lling girlfriend in Enugu speaks

The Enugu State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of Okpara Chibuike Emmanuel, a 30-year-old man over the alleged m&rder of his girlfriend, identified as Chinyere. 

The suspect was rescued from an angry mob and re-arrested by Police operatives attached to Awkunanaw Division on September 21, 2026, at about 6:30 p.m., following information that he had allegedly m$rdered his girlfriend.

Preliminary investigation by the police indicates that the suspect allegedly k!lled the victim on September 19, wrapped her remains in a nylon and locked them inside the toilet of his apartment. The offensive odour of the decomposing body subsequently attracted neighbours, who forced the door open and apprehended him before the arrival of the Police. The putrefying remains were evacuated to a mortuary for preservation and autopsy, while efforts are ongoing to trace and notify her relatives.

During preliminary interrogation, the suspect confessed to the crime, stating that the incident followed an argument between him and the deceased over allegations of who infected the other with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). He further told the police that, during the argument, he struck the deceased on the head with a pestle, resulting in her de@th, and subsequently wrapped and dumped her remains inside the toilet.

The state Commissioner of Police, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, has ordered the State CID to conduct a discreet and thorough investigation to establish the circumstances of the incident and ensure the suspect is arraigned in court upon conclusion of investigations.
