By Emmanuel Iheaka, OWERRI

Youths of Umuadara, Umulogho in Obowo Local Government Area of Imo State, have arrested one of the suspected killers of a student of College of Nursing, Obowo, Wendy Achumba.

A source in the community said the youth leader, Chidiebere Iweajunwa led the operation for the arrest, following a thorough investigation.

The suspect whose name was given as Onyema Okonkwo, had confessed to the crime in a video interview that had gone viral.

Okonkwo stated that he had stormed the student’s apartment with one Emmanuel at about 7 p.m., and both took turns raping Achumba.

The student was said to be living alone in the building, after her two neighbours had left for nursing experience.

“She was the only one in the house. The owner of the house is based in America. There were three students occupying the house. But two went for their nursing experience, leaving only her in the compound,” the source submitted.

The suspect narrated that the student rejected their advances for sexual affairs, hence they decided to invade her residence.

Okonkwo said he hit the student with stick before the said Emmanuel put a knife on her throat after rounds of forced sex.

“We wanted her to give us sex, she refused. We went to her house around 7 p.m. I had sex with her two times, Emmanuel had once. After that, I hit her with a stick. I didn’t know Emmanuel returned with a knife to kill her,” Okonkwo claimed.

The suspect was said to have been handed over to the police.

The police spokesman in the state, Henry Okoye was yet to respond to inquiries at the time of filing this report.
