Boyfriend Kills Female Student Over Valentine Outing (Details)

What kind of by force love is this? A student of the University of Jos has been killed by a man described as her boyfriend for allegedly turning down his invitation for a date last Sunday - Valentine day.

Miss Nanchin Zakariah, a student of Psychology department, was allegedly strangled to death by Badung David Dele on Monday, the day after Valentine at her apartment
around Angwa Rukuba.

A source close to them said they've been in an intimate affair for quite some time until a misunderstanding set in shortly before the last Valentine day.

Badung was said to have reached out to Nanchin apparently to settle their differences and invited her out for Valentine. An unimpressed Nanchin reportedly smelled a cat and declined the invitation outright.

She felt that there was no basis for any dating between them having parted for some time.

The following morning, the suspect stormed Nanchin’s apartment demanding an explanation why she failed to make the outing. He reportedly grabbed her by the neck and strangled her to death.

After completing his evil act, the suspect left the apartment and told a neighbour he met outside that he wanted to go and get some drug for his ‘ill’ friend.

He gave his phone number to the woman and asked her to call him in case of any emergency.

The woman perceived danger immediately and proceeded to Nanchin’s room only to find her lying down on her bed unconsciously.

“I called her name but she did not respond,” the woman identified as Mama Joy said.

“I moved closer and I discovered that she was dead. I ran out, screaming to alert the people around. I was shocked that the boy managed to kill this girl without a gun. There was no blood on her body.”

The Plateau State Police Command have arrested the boyfriend.

The Police Public Relations Officer DSP Abu Emmanuel said Badung was arrested on the same day "and after some interrogation, he confessed to have committed the crime.”

The police“are making necessary arrangements to arraign him in court soon. The Police Commissioner is using this opportunity to caution ladies to be careful who they date. Some of these boys are criminals and you might ignorantly fall into their hands like this girl.”
