The police command in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has arrested a 31-year-old man over alleged murder of his lover. 

The suspect allegedly killed his lover, 48-year-old Ijeoma Felix in FCT and then stole the victim’s car and other valuables.

The suspect, who was paraded at the IRT Office in Abuja on Tuesday, confessed to having hit the victim with a pestle during an allegedly violent argument at her two-bedroom residence in the Lugbe area of the FCT on October 24.

According to him, he met the deceased in a Facebook group in 2020, adding that their relationship started on a good note, which led to him moving into her apartment.

He claimed that the relationship turned abusive with him being the victim.

Speaking about the circumstances that led to her death, the suspect said he and Ijeoma had an argument over a Toyota Highlander she had given him, which he sold without her consent.

Things escalated and the argument morphed into a physical fight, which led to her death.

He then took the Toyota Camry belonging to the deceased, along with her phone and some other belongings before leaving the house. He added that he was arrested on November 2 after changing the car documents of the Camry and selling it for N1.7 million.

Speaking about the incident, the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi said the arrest of the suspect followed the directive of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba to fish out the culprit and to ensure no stone is left unturned in dealing with criminal elements.
