Operatives of the Imo State Police Command have arrested a 27-year-old woman, Oluchi Nzemechi, for allegedly stabbing her partner, Kelechi Nzemechi, to death over his alleged failure to share proceeds from internet fraud.
Imo State Police Public Relations Officer, Henry Okoye, announced this on Monday while presenting the suspect to the public. He stated that the suspect, a native of Uzoagba in Ikeduru, Imo State, was apprehended following a thorough investigation that confirmed she had committed the crime.
The investigation revealed that the deceased had refused to give the suspect her share from an internet fraud deal amounting to 250 million Rupiah. The Imo State Police Command reported, “The suspect confessed to the crime, admitting that her lover lured her into internet fraud, also known as ‘yahoo yahoo’.”
“She had a heated argument with him on Thursday for failing to give her a cut of an alleged 250 Million Rupiah they fraudulently obtained from a victim in Indonesia, during which she used a kitchen knife and stabbed him on the upper part of his body.
“The suspect further revealed that in a bid to cover up her criminal acts, she swiftly wrote on a piece of paper; ‘you think you can eat my money and go free, I am baba for the boys, I am coming for your wife and your child including your family’ and placed it on the lifeless body of the victim and ran away from the house.
“She also stated that she has been living with the victim since 2019 and has a child for him.”
The Police noted that efforts are being made to recover the alleged 250 million Rupiah for a possible return to the owner.
