On Tuesday, the Edo State Police Command showcased Victor Ochonogor, a 400-level student at the University of Port Harcourt, who is suspected of being involved in cybercrime. Ochonogor stands accused of the tragic demise of his girlfriend in Benin City, Edo State.
It’s worth noting that Victor Ochonogor allegedly took the life of his girlfriend by stabbing her in his apartment located at No 10, Osahon Street, Ogheghe Quarters, off Sapele Road, Benin City.
Ochonogor and his late girlfriend were said to have already locked themselves inside the house when the violence broke out.
It was learnt that the terrible incident was reported to the police by his landlord.
Parading the suspect at the police command, the Commissioner of Police, Dankwara Mohammed said the the matter was reported to the police at about 4 pm on Monday, August 21, 2023, and they swung into action immediately.
Speaking on the incident, the murder suspect, Ochonogor, age, 25, said he has been dating his late girlfriend for three years now adding that she came from Asaba to Benin to visit him and while they were together, she accused him of being a Kidnapper.
The Uniport undergraduate of the Applied And Industrial Chemistry department said he was angered by that accusation.
“I have been dating her for three years now and she accused me of being a Kidnapper. I asked her why must she be accusing me of such when we have been together for such a time.
“I am not a Kidnapper and some of the members of her family know me very well. They accused me of being a Kidnapper, how can a Kidnapper be dating somebody?” he asked rhetorically.
Ochonogor said he didn’t kill his girlfriend but was jealous that she wanted to get married to another man.
Commissioner of Police, Dankwara Mohammed, confirmed that the case will be taken to court for prosecution.
He also urged the public to provide crucial information to help prevent crime effectively.
