The lady, suspected to be
in her late thirties, had passed the night in her lover’s house at 17b Akugbe
road, near Uwa market, off TV road, Benin.
There was pandemonium on
Friday on Obomwan Street, off Second-West Circular Road, in Oredo Local
Government Area of Edo State, when the corpse of a woman was discovered in one
of the buildings in the area.
The remains of the
deceased, whose identity could not be ascertained, were said to have been found
in a bathroom, a development which startled many residents in the area.
The deceased had a
disagreement with her lover, identified as one Anthony Akhimien, in the early
hours of Friday.
Some of the residents, who
refused to speak on record, raised the suspicion that the body of the deceased
could have been thrown into the next compound after she died.
Occupants of the house
where the corpse was found were said to have raised the alarm, which attracted
operatives from Textile Mill Police Division.
The tenants in the building
where the lady was suspected to have died abandoned their homes for fear of
being arrested.
But Akhimien was later said
to have been arrested at about 3 pm after he was caught in his room by some
military officers, who later handed him over to the police.
The remains of the deceased
were also said to have deposited in a mortuary.
The Police Public Relations
Officer, Mr. Moses Nkombe, confirmed the incident, adding that investigation
was ongoing.
Nkombe also stated that the
suspect would be charged to court at the conclusion of investigation.
