Jealous soldier kills undergraduate in Bayelsa

A jealous soldier with the Nigerian Army has reportedly killed his lover, an undergraduate at the Niger Delta University (NDU), Amassoma, Bayelsa State.

The suspect, James Matol, who is believed to have gone underground to escape arrest, was said to have killed his name identified as Jennifer Ugadu, an undergraduate at the Faculty of Education.

Investigations revealed that the corpse of the 23- year-old Madu was discovered yesterday with bullet wounds and lacerations on her body, with a finger on the right hand cut off in an apparent struggle with her killer.

Her friends and neighbours were said to have been worried that they saw her last with the suspect on July 11, and unable to get through they broke into her house and met her decomposing body.

One of her friends went through her phone and stumbled on WhatsApp messages from Matol, where he accused her of cheating on him and threatened to kill her before killing himself.

The suspect was said to have accused the deceased’s two friends identified as Eniye and Vera, of giving her the wrong advice, which led to their five years storming relationship causing him emotional frustration.

“We were shocked to read what he was posting, and we quickly informed the institution’s authority. He accused the girl of cheating and using a diabolic method to charm him. But, most students know the couple and their violent relationship,”

said a classmate of the deceased.

The neighbours reported the incident to the police and they visited the scene to remove her decomposing body.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Asinim Butswat, who confirmed the incident, said the Commissioner of Police, Mike Okoli, has ordered a discreet investigation.
