Narrating further, Nonso stated that “my cousin out of love and empathy bought the medications and took it to him since his house was not too far from hers.
“On getting to his house, the guy pretended that the situation was getting worse and pleaded with my cousin to sleep over and help him out.
“My cousin called her mum and informed her of the situation; that she will not be able to come back home that night till the next morning. No body knew he already had his plans waiting to be executed.
“The next morning being Tuesday 9/12/2025, my cousin didn’t return home. Efforts were made to reach to her and her supposed fiancé but no one was picking call.”
Explaining further, the cousin stressed that “few hours later, everyone started panicking and some people were sent to the guy’s house to know what was happening only for them to find the lifeless body of my cousin on the floor.
