IMO STATE - A young lady by name Miss Onyinyechi Okegbulam of Egbu in Owerri North Local Government Area of Imo State, lost her life after she reportedly
rejected the marriage proposal of her boyfriend.
A source, who spoke but craved anonymity,
said the girl was
shot in the head at close range by her supposed boyfriend in the village. The source recalled that the deceased was, last Saturday,
lured out of her family home by the boyfriend at about 7p.m.“Some people, who were close to the scene of the crime that night, reported that as soon as the boy saw the girl approaching him, he fired at her,” the source said.
Another source claimed that soon after shooting the girl,
the young man tried to smuggle Onyinyechi’s lifeless body into his car but scampered
for safety when a woman raised alarm, which attracted several people to the
scene.
Another source also claimed that the boyfriend was
responsible for the entire educational expenses of the girl, who later ditched
him. A resident of the area said: “We heard that the boy picked
the bills for the girl’s education, but that the girl later abandoned the boy
and opted to marry another man.
“We have even heard that the marriage has been fixed before the boyfriend struck.”
The 22-year-old Onyinyechi was, until her untimely death, a
final year student of Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Owerri West Local Government
Area of the state.
