A woman has been arrested and detained after her
29-year-old boyfriend reportedly died in her apartment at the Irri
Quaters in Ulli-Iyede community, Isoko North Local Government Area of
Delta State.
The deceased, Harrison Ighoroje, a graduate of the
Delta State University (DELSU), was said to be a teacher at a private
secondary school in another community and had visited the lady to spend
the night with her.
According to source,
the circumstances surrounding his death which is said to have set his
kinsmen against those of the lady, could not be ascertained just yet but
according to one of his close friends, the lady had put an urgent call
across to him in the night informing him that Ighoroje had suddenly
developed a sickness and was convulsing seriously.
Efforts were made by some concerned neighbourss to
resuscitate the man around 3am of the fateful day, but he unfortunately
couldn’t survive.
The woman was urged to file a report of the death to the police after the man was pronounced dead.
One of her friends who spoke anonymously said, “I
was reluctant to go there after receiving the call because it came in
the wee hours of the day. Seeing that her lover had died, the girlfriend
raced to the Divisional Police Headquarters in Oleh to report herself.
She was thereafter detained until autopsy would be conducted on Harrison’s body.”
