A final year student at the University of Port Harcourt, identified as Collins, is alleged to have killed his lover, Justina Otuene Nkang, in an apparent attempt to perform a money ritual.

The suspect was caught by residents along NTA road Port-Harcourt while he was making attempts to dispose of the lifeless body of the deceased.

According to a blogger, Promise Uzoma Okoro, Collins had invited the deceased who is also a 300-level biochemistry student of the same university to his residence when the incident occurred.

Nkang, a 300-level Biochemistry student of the University of Port Harcourt (UniPort) who had earlier been reported missing, was found mutilated at the suspect’s residence situated on Road 15, NTA Road, Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital.

Witnesses stormed the suspect’s apartment after the security team raised the alarm, where they discovered Justina’s dismembered body parts in bloody sacks.

He was thereafter whisked to the police station while the deceased’s body parts were taken to the morgue.
