A 27-year-old man, John Aipoh, has been apprehended by men of the Edo state police command for allegedly strangling his 24-year-old girlfriend to death after she ended their four-year relationship.

Precious Ikpikhumi, a 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;

”What I want to let you know is that it is not those two boys that are making me to do all these things. It has been long I have been telling John.
