Man Kills Girlfriend in Hotel Room for Allegedly Infecting him with Gonorrhea

Ekanem Ikot, 31-year-old has allegedly killed his lover, in a hotel room in Minna, Niger state for allegedly infecting him with gonorrhea.
27-year-old Edith Owei, an indigene of Owa-Alero, Ika North East Local Government Area of Delta State and the suspect, were in a relationship for almost six months before the incident occurred, March 7th.
The suspect fled the hotel after the incident on Monday, leaving the victim’s lifeless body on the ground, even as sources said the suspect and the victim were in a relationship close to six months before the dastardly act.


According to reports, the suspect,lured the victim to Minna in Niger State after she had deceived her parents that she was going to Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State, to collect her NYSC call-up letter, having graduated from the Department of Chemistry.

It was further gathered that after the family members had waited for days to no avail and without hearing from her, they were said to have called her mobile telephone number several times without any answer; a development that overwhelmed them with suspicion.
Surprisingly, the victim’s boyfriend, after some days, sent a text message to the elder sister, one Felicia, informing her of the death of the sister in a hotel room in Minna as well as allegedly claiming responsibility.

Felicia, who narrated the incident to Southern City News, said,

“We immediately reported the matter to the police who then sent a radio message to Minna to ascertain if such incident took place there and it was confirmed to be true.”

The victim’s sister added that the police and one of her uncles traveled to Minna, where they identified her corpse and brought it to Asaba.
Unconfirmed sources said the suspect allegedly killed the victim when he noticed gonorrhea symptoms after he made love to her before they moved into Minna.
