EKO HOT BLOG gathered that a 27-year-old man, John Aipoh, was arrested for allegedly killing his lover, Precious Ikpikhumi, after she called off their four-year relationship.
Precious, a 24-year-old final year student of the Institute of Health Technology, University of Benin Teaching Hospital, was declared missing by her family on May 1 after she went to church and failed to return.
After a detailed investigation, the police arrested John who confessed to having ambushed Precious while she was on her way to church on May 1, took her to an uncompleted building where he murdered her, and then moved to an unknown destination.
It was discovered that Precious and John have been at loggerheads over some issues. It got so bad that Precious even sent a voice note to a friend of hers in which she expressed fears that John might kill her for calling off their relationship.
She said;
“I asked for a break up, John confronted me, he said I cannot be tired of the relationship since he was the one who approached me and he is the one who can decide when it will end. I told him even if he forces me to date him, he cannot force me to marry him. It is better we have a broken relationship now than a broken marriage.
“I can’t please, I can’t die, and I know it will never be right with him if he genuinely harms or kills me because I refuse to continue with him, my blood will cry over his head.
“I have made up my mind. If is that I will die in this relationship, a fly that fails to hear word is one that follows the corpse into the grave. Since I don’t listen, anything John does to me I will bear it.”
The suspect decided to follow out his threat to “end her” on May 1st, 2022, when he dragged her to an unfinished structure and strangled her with her scarf. He then made his way to an unknown location.
Following his arrest, John took the police to the uncompleted building where he dumped Precious’s lifeless body.
