A spine chilly news broke the internet on a fortnight ago, when a missing case turned into a cold blooded murder. Damian Okoligwe, a 400-level student of Petroleum Engineering, at the University of Port Harcourt, UNIPORT, has left many wondering where humanity stands in the scheme of things, going by the increasing rates of murder reportedly linked to ritualistic activities.
Okoligwe, Africa Update reports, allegedly killed his 20-year-old ex-lover, identified as Justina Nkang, a 300-level Biochemistry female student at the same University, who had earlier been reported missing. She was reportedly found mutilated at the suspect’s residence situated at the NTA Road axis of Rivers State.
It was gathered that Okoligwe was caught by his estate security personnel while he was trying to dispose of the victim’s body.
Witnesses had stormed the suspect’s apartment after the security team raised the alarm, where the dismembered and decomposing remains of Justina Nkang was found in bloody sacks.
He was reportedly whisked to the police station while the body parts were taken to the morgue.
The suspect was paraded at the Police Headquarters at Moscow, in Port Harcourt City Local Government Area, on Thursday.
