She went to the sitting room, dropped her home theater on me which I still defended. She was back with the pestle the second time, it was really unintentional because I was angry and all that…

I snatched it away from her and shoved her with it. When she was coming up, involuntarily I hit her with the pestle..

That was when she fell down and started crying and saying why did I hit her”, he said.

Edeh stated that after hitting her, he 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.Also speaking to newsmen, the victim’s elder sister recounted how she learned about the death of her sister, Ijeoma Felix after her gruesome killing on October 24 at her residence.

All of us went to the compound.They went in; they brought out my sister, wrapped in her centre rug. She was smelling already. That means the smell I was perceiving (the day before) was my sister. She had been there for days, smelling!

That was how we took her to Gwagwalada Hospital and deposited the body.The car was not there. The telly was not there. The phones were not there. But you could see the charging things there. And they told me that the guy in question was the last person that came that Monday (to her apartment) and they didn’t see when he left and the car had not been there since he left,” she said, adding that the family wants justice.” she told Channels TVThe 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 him out and to ensure no stone is left unturned in dealing with criminal elements.
