A 26-year-old, Shagbada Erigga has been arrested by police in Oyo
for allegedly killing his girlfriend, Happiness Winifred, 30, for
refusing to have sex with him.
He was paraded today June 30 by the Oyo state Commissioner of
Police, CP. Chuks Enwonwu, who said that the suspected murderer, Erigga
invited Happiness, a mother of three, to his home to spend the night
with him on June 21. They got into a heated argument after she refused
to have sex with him.
He punched her three times. She slumped and died and then he dumped
her body inside a well in the Ojoo area of Ibadan, Oyo State capital.
The police boss said men of the Ojoo Police Station began an
investigation after one Mr. Agu Benson, a resident of Oritoke Area of
Ojoo, Ibadan came to the police station to report that he went to fetch
water in the well in his compound on June 25 and discovered a floating
body.
When interrogated, Shagbada confessed to the crime but said he “accidentally” killed Happiness.
“On that faithful day of the incident, we were showering
together and I asked her the reason she has been denying me of sex but
she was raising her voice on me and I slapped her and to my surprise,
she slapped me back and I gave her just three blows at the mouth and
another one on her neck. Next thing I knew, she fell slumped and died.
When I discovered that she has died, I quickly carried her
corpse and threw her inside a well in my compound because I was afraid
and I didn’t want people to suspect me that I responsible for her death.
But a few days later, her corpse was discovered by my neighbour
who wanted to use the well and he reported the case to the police and I
was arrested.
I regret my actions. I don’t have intentions to kill her. She
used to be my girlfriend. She had told me that she is a runs girl, that
she already had three kids and I said no problem, and I promised to take
her as my wife before that misunderstanding came up between both of
us,” Erigga said
Items recovered from him include one hand bag, one Andriod Phone, a pair of underwear, a pack of condoms, a key, and slippers.
