A middle-aged man identified as Ogbonna, popularly known as “Mourinho,” has been arrested for allegedly killing his ex-girlfriend, Chisom Ayogu, at his residence in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State.
According to reports, Chisom, who hailed from the Amufie community in Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area, had visited Ogbonna at his home on New Anglican Road, Nsukka, to inform him of her upcoming wedding. However, the visit ended in tragedy after a heated disagreement reportedly escalated into a violent altercation.
Eyewitnesses said Ogbonna physically assaulted Chisom during the confrontation, though the exact cause of the dispute remains unclear. Before neighbors could intervene, Chisom had already lost consciousness. She was rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors confirmed she was dead on arrival.
A resident who spoke on the condition of anonymity confirmed the sequence of events and noted that the suspect, Ogbonna—who is also from the Igogoro community in Igbo-Eze North—was immediately apprehended by the police for interrogation.
Authorities have launched a full investigation into the incident as the community mourns the untimely loss of the young woman.
