The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has revealed the arrest of a 32 years old man who allegedly murdered his lover, aged 39 in mysterious circumstances.
The suspect, Ndifreke Isaiah Nelson was nabbed by operatives of the Command for the alleged murder of his 39 years old girlfriend, Emem Monday Effanga.
According to a statement released by the Command’s Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Timfon John, the suspect also stole his victim’s mobile phone after the murder.
The text of the statement revealed that the police received a report that the victim, Emem was lying dead in her apartment, February this year in suspicious manner.
The police account said that on reaching the scene of crime, the police noticed visible marks of violence on her face and neck which is a sign of strangulation before she passed on.
The statement read: “Sometime in February 2025, the Command received a report that the deceased was found dead in her apartment under suspicious circumstances.
It added that “Upon arrival at the scene, operatives observed visible marks of violence on her face and neck, suggesting she had been strangled and beaten to death.
The scene was processed, evidence documented, and the body was evacuated to the hospital, where she was confirmed clinically dead by medical personnel.
The corpse was thereafter deposited at the mortuary for preservation and autopsy”, it affirmed.
According to the police, it immediately drafted its officers to investigate the murder and those responsible for it.
“Following swift investigations, detectives traced the last person seen with the deceased to be Ndifreke Isaiah Nelson, who had visited her residence on 6th February 2025, the morning of his birthday.
The suspect was later tracked to a church in Uyo, where he attempted to escape upon sighting police operatives but was swiftly pursued and apprehended.
When questioned, the suspect confessed that he visited the victim that morning and requested to use her phone to take pictures for his birthday celebration to place on social media.
Going by his narration, a struggle ensued arising from her refusal to lend him the phone, during which he overpowered her.
Ndifreke confessed he strangled Emem with his hands, and struck her head on the floor with fist blows, leaving her unconscious before fleeing with her phone.
The police recovered one Itel Super Phone, belonging to the deceased from the suspect at the time of arrest.
“A post-mortem examination has been conducted, and the cause of death has been officially documented by a pathologist. The suspect will be charged to court.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Baba Mohammed Azare, fsi has assured that justice will be served and warned against all forms of domestic violence and criminal acts.
He charged the general public to remain security conscious and report suspicious activities to the police.”
Justice Maryam Aliyu Hassan of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory sitting at Gwarimpa in Abuja has ordered that former Minister of Labour, Dr Chris Ngige, be kept at Kuje prison till December 18.
Ngige will be on remand till the date when his bail application would be decided by the court.
Justice Hassan issued the order on Monday shortly after taking arguments for and against the bail request of the former governor of Anambra State.
Ngige’s lawyer, Patrick Ikwueto, SAN, pleaded with the judge to admit the former minister to bail, mainly on health ground.
He submitted that the former minister would not jump bail or interfere with witnesses if admitted to bail.
However, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, represented by Sylvanus Tahir, SAN, vehemently opposed the bail request, insisting that Ngige was a flight risk.
Tahir told the judge that Ngige was granted administrative bail by the EFCC and allowed to travel abroad for medical care but never reported back to the Commission.
Besides, he said that the international passport released to Ngige; to facilitate the abroad trip was never returned till today.
The senior lawyer argued that it was when Ngige was re-arrested that he came up with a purported claim that he lost his passport.
He insisted that the claim of passport loss was an afterthought and should not be believed by the court.
After the submissions, Justice Hassan fixed December 18 to deliver ruling in the bail request.
Ngige was last Friday slammed with an eight-count charge bordering on corrupt practices.
