“I don’t Think She Can Kill Someone”, Boyfriend Of Corps Member Accused Of Killing Lover Says

Henry Obiakwa, a man who claims to be the boyfriend of Odume Princess Pascaline, the corps member who allegedly hacked a young man to death in Akwa Ibom on Sunday, has said she did not commit the crime.

Eko Hot Blog had reported that Odume was said to have been lynched before the police intervened and took her to the station.

Obiakwa said he had been in a relationship with the Corps member for two years, noting that it was a long distance relationship.

He said, “We started dating two years ago. Though I live far away and you know how long-distance relationships can be. I came back last October for a traditional wedding which I invited her to attend with me and she came. We never broke up just that the relationship is no longer how it is supposed to be.

“Since I have known her, she has never been a violent person. Whenever she is angry, all she does is to keep quiet. I don’t think she can kill someone except she says it herself,” he told Sahara Reporters in an interview on Monday.

Obiakwa, who resides in Lagos, confirmed that she was recently posted to Uyo, Akwa Ibom State for her one-year mandatory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme.

When asked if she ever informed him of any threat to her life by anyone, Obiakwa said they had no such discussion.

“She never told me anything about this other guy though I spoke with her four days ago before I travelled to Ondo where I get my wares from. She also never told me of any threat to her life,” he said.
