Tega Okpako an Urhobo by tribe in Delta State was allegedly killed by her boyfriend, one Morrison Okomor last Thursday in Asaba, capital of Delta State.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports the suspect, Okomor, however, in his statement to the police at the Asaba A Division, claimed he had an argument with Tega, which made her get herself drunk, then fell down.
According to him, she fell and immediately gave up the ghost, but her family started raising eyebrows when they saw her corpse at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Asaba, where her corpse was deposited.
Her cousin (name withheld) told TNG: “We were surprised when we saw her corpse at FMC with a very deep hole in her forehead connoting an attack because such a hole cannot be as a result of a fall.
“One of the officers investigating the case told us this is a clear case of a murder because of that visible hole on her forehead.
“Tega is not known to be violent and how can she get herself drunk then suddenly fell down and gave up the ghost just like that.
“We are not going to allow the matter to lie low because you can’t just take somebody’s life in the name of love.
“The police are on top of it now as the boy is claiming innocence because Tega is dead now and the dead can’t talk”.
