The police at Mangoro Divisional Police Headquarters, Dopemu, Agege have arrested a lotto agent, Mr. Muka Jerry of 21, Balogun Lawe Street, Dopemu, Agege, Lagos, western Nigeria, after he beat his girlfriend
to death.
A police patrol team caught the suspect
with the corpse of his girlfriend called Abike
Ahmed, 25, at about 2 a.m. today while
trying to dump the corpse.
P.M.NEWS gathered that the lady died while
fighting with Jerry in his house at Dopemu
on Thursday.
Abike, it was learnt, visited Jerry in his
house and a disagreement ensued during
which the lady was reportedly beaten severely.
She was said to have phoned her mother to
tell her that she was being beaten by the
suspect.
The mother of the deceased, Mrs. Tawa
Ahmed told P.M.NEWS at the police station
that her daughter called her at about 10
p.m. yesterday to inform her that Jerry was
beating her over something which she did
not disclose.
She disclosed that she went to Jerry's
house this morning only to be told by
neighbours that the suspect had been
arrested by the police at Mangoro.
The woman said when she got to the
station, the police told her that the suspect
was arrested at midnight while trying to
dump the corpse of the girl on a street.
The distraught mother revealed that the
suspect usually beat her daughter, adding
that she warned her to stop seeing the
suspect but she disobeyed her.
"This is not the first time the suspect will beat my daughter. Jerry was fond of beating
my daughter at the slightest excuse and I
warned her to stop going to him but she
refused. See what has happened now. He
beat my daughter to death and was trying to
throw the corpse away when the police
caught him," Mrs. Ahmed narrated to P.M.NEWS.
The suspect is being detained at the
Dopemu Police Station while the girl's
corpse has been deposited at the Yaba
mortuary.
