A 25-year-old man in Ogun state,south west Nigeria has been accused of slaughtering his 21-year-old girlfriend because she broke up with him.
Rafiyat Akinyemi, a Lagos State Polythenic graduate was at home last week Wednesday, when her bricklayer ex-boyfriend Akinloye Anuoluwapo came around at about 8.30am.
He was said to have tried to have sex with Akinyemi and it was during the struggle that slit her throat with a knife.
Anuoluwapo, who has been arrested by the police, cofessed to the crime; “I don’t know what came over me, I just wanted us to reconcile and continue our relationship,” he said.
“Each time we break up, I am always severely affected; I converted from Christianity to Islam because I wanted to marry her.”
“I even moved from my one-room apartment to self-contained accommodation so that she would be more comfortable. My visit was meant to be for a discussion but it degenerated into a quarrel.
“Akinyemi was not even aware that I had a knife on me when I forcefully had sex with her.”
Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi said, Anuoluwapo had gone ahead and had sex with the corpse.
A police source told reporters that;
“It was later, someone gave an anonymous tip to the police that Akinyemi had broken up several times with Anuoluwapo.
“He said each time; Anuoluwapo would get people from her community or the mosque where she worshipped to plead with her.”
“A team of police detectives went to the company to arrest Anuoluwapo, but were initially refused entry. Eventually the Divisional Police Officer, SP. Toyin Afolaogun, had to come with the Divisional Crime Officer before Anuoluwapo could be arrested,” the source said.
