The Anambra Police Command has arrested 26-year-old Chibuike Anikpe for allegedly murdering his 35-year-old girlfriend, Ogochukwu Mmadubugwu, in Ekwulobia.
According to Police spokesperson Tochukwu Ikenga, Anikpe confessed to stabbing Mmadubugwu in the neck with a knife on December 9, 2025, due to suspicions of infidelity.
He also admitted to dropping a fake letter claiming to have been kidnapped by creditors to avoid suspicion.
The police have debunked rumors that the crime was committed by people Anikpe owed money to, stating these claims are false.
Detectives have visited the morgue where Mmadubugwu’s body was deposited as part of ongoing investigations.
The incident has sparked outrage and renewed discussions on domestic violence and relationship-related crimes in the community.
The police has urged the general public to resolve disputes peacefully and report early signs of domestic violence.
