POLICE in Imo State have begun investigating the death of Onyinyechi Okegbulam from Egbu in Owerri North Local Government Area who was killed by her boyfriend for refusing his marriage proposal.
In a gruesome murder, the 22-year-old Onyinyechi was, until her untimely death, a final year student of Federal Polytechnic, Nekede in Owerri West Local Government Area of the state. She was apparently shot in the head at close range by her supposed boyfriend in the village after she rejected his offer of marriage.
Eyewitnesses said that the deceased was lured out of her family home by the boyfriend at night after she rejected him and was then shot. Another source claimed that soon after shooting the girl, the young man tried to smuggle Onyinyechi’s lifeless body into his car but scampered for safety when a woman raised alarm, which attracted several people to the scene.
It is believed that the ditched boyfriend was responsible for the entire educational expenses of the girl and it was this that infuriated him. Police are now said to be looking for the boyfriend, although it has not yet been confirmed if an arrest has been made.
One local resident said: “We heard that the boy picked the bills for the girl’s education but that the girl later abandoned the boy and opted to marry another man. We have even heard that the marriage has been fixed before the boyfriend struck.”
A spokesman from the Imo State Police Command said they are investigating the matter and the late girl’s parents are cooperating with them. If the boyfriend is caught, it is almost certain that he will be charged with murder.
I have been reporting for several years now and I am very interested in visual news reportage with strong inclusion of photos and video multimedia.

When u know u don't wanna do anything with a man don't eat or take his money(reject Satan with his everything) but that guy is very stupid. How will u be training a girl u have not married to school. As for me before I will agree such thing with any girl I will first of all get married to her and she will gimme at least one child before anything.

for these who 'help' people for ulterior motives this is a warning because the person soon discovers, plays along and gets what they want, learn to help as doing it unto God. For those accepting help, please never and i repeat never fail to ask what the price for the 'help' you are getting will be and demand an answer to avoid abuse and humiliation. the heart of men is sinister and callous.
