Jeremiah Sodiq Igomigoh, 49, a former correctional officer and active security guard, shot his estranged ex-wife, Nnenna Laura Ogbonna, 44, and then shot himself afterwards. The tragic incident happened in the Middle River / Essex region in Maryland USA. Baltimore County Police have declared it a murder-suicide.
Jeremiah used to be known as Muhammad who used to be a Muslim but converted to Christianity and even became a pastor but had been living a double life allegedly messing around with other women and having multiple wives .....
They both had 2 kids but unknown to her he also had a wife with three kids in Nigeria. The guy had filed for them and she accidentally found out, which was what led to her leaving him and renting an apartment in Essex. When the Nigerian family came down to US, he relocated them to the same complex where Nnenna lives with her own two children and mother.
The guy who was a correction officer filed tax late January and used both his three children from the first Nigerian wife plus Nnenna’s first child.That aggravated Nnenna who then reported it to IRS. IRS then wrote the guy to refund the money or face the consequences. When he found out what she had done,He went over to her apartment demanding to speak to her,they got into an argument and he ended up shooting her and himself.
The lady is an Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) who worked 2 jobs. One in the same correction facility as Muhammed and another in a nursing home. Though she was a nurse in Nigeria before coming over to the U.S, but had done a quick and accelerated nursing program for one year to get in the system and then take her time to challenge the Registered nurse (RN) Licensure exam.
Baltimore Police also said the handgun Igomigoh used was legally registered to him according to reports. Igomigoh also had a carry permit for the gun, which he used in his employment as a security guard.

Wow. A terrible story. Poor wom(e)n. All of them including the children were used for HIS selfish needs. Money. Only God knows what he taught as a correctional officer? Those he met in his role as a correctional officer with may need debriefing.
And cowards always kill themselves in the end.

The man committed bigamy, he is greedy, he wanted to claim a tax return on a child that's not living with him. He was very angry and shot the woman, when he realized what he did, decided to take his life instead of spending the rest of his life in prison. I think he has an anger problem, she should have gotten a restraining order on him.
