A man, identified as Chidube Onyema, reportedly shot his girlfriend, Chinwendu, on her private part in Umuokirie Village, Okuku Autonomous Community, Owerri West Local Government Area of Imo State and it led to her death.

“Yes, it is true. The suspect has been arrested and the case has been

more investigation and prosecution,” the Police PRO, Ikeokwu said.
It was gathered that the man, Onyema, shot and killed his girlfriend, Chinwendu,
over allegations of cheating.
According to one of the suspect’s neighbours, the lady visited her boyfriend
from her village, Ohabele in Obosima community, Ohaji/Egbema Local Government
Area of Imo State before the unfortunate incident.
The neighbour, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that the lady received
a call, which caused a disagreement between her and the suspect, Onyema.
Onyema was said to have demanded for her mobile phone and the refusal to hand
over her phone to him, infuriated him and he went to get his gun from the room
and the girlfriend, Chinwendu, on her private part.
According to the neighbour, “She usually visits Chidube (Onyema) from her
village. She came from Aba in Abia State and was supposed to return on Sunday
evening before her boyfriend killed her. Trouble started after the lady
answered a phone call. The guy demanded to know who called her but she refused
to tell him. He shot her on her private part. He is our neighbour and a hunter”.
