I reported to the police and the DSS. After two weeks, the DSS captured the suspect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw that my wife was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/03\/15\/video-teenage-nanny-who-strangled-6-month-old-baby-to-death-narrates-how-she-was-initiated-in-primary-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">strangled<\/a> with a blue bathing sponge in the neck; the entire room was scattered. The defendant wrote something on a sheet and placed on the ground that he was looking for some documents and when he called my wife, she told him to do his worst.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe said he had done some plumbing services for my wife and also sent same message to my brother-in-law, Anthony Okeke, that he was looking for his keke documents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to PUNCH, Chigozirim, during interrogation by the DSS, was said to have confessed to the earlier killing of Chioma in August 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Chioma\u2019s mother, Clementina Nwoke, a member of Chigozirim\u2019s church, said she was called on August 20, 2021, that her daughter, who lived in Owerri, Imo State, had not been seen for one week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started looking for her through the DSS in Umuahia and Owerri. I later got a message from my daughter\u2019s phone that I should pay N1.5m. The DSS asked me to offer N50,000; I offered N100,000. Using my daughter\u2019s phone, he (suspect) called me to come to Mbgoko Amiri in Obingwa LGA.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn reaching there, a voice directed me to where to place the money. Though I was not seeing the person, I dropped the money at the foot of the pole I was directed to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI asked him about my daughter and he said after dropping the money, I would see her at Umuikea Junction. This was on September 7, 2021. When I got to Umuikea Junction, I did not see my daughter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTowards the end of September, the DSS asked me to show them the picture of Chioma and later invited me to Umuahia, where I met two of my pastors, and all of us went to our apostle at the World Bank Estate, Umuahia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said some of the church leaders later broke the news to her that Chioma\u2019s decomposing corpse was found at Mbano, Imo State.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs Nwoke said her daughter was strangled with a head tie and \u201cleft upside down at the foot of a tree.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said when the suspect was arrested over Virginia\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/03\/23\/single-lady-allegedly-murdered-and-burnt-alive-for-demanding-for-her-fathers-inheritance-in-ebonyi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">murder<\/a> and his house was searched, he was caught with Chioma\u2019s phone and ATM card, adding that he withdrew a lot of money from the deceased\u2019s bank account.<\/p>\n<p>While in court, the defendant informed the presiding judge, Uchechi Enwereji, that he was photographed by certain persons, who threatened to deal with him.<\/p>\n<p>But the judge assured him that nothing would happen to him in the custody of the Nigeria Correctional Service and adjourned the case till May 24, 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A pastor with The Apostolic Church, Umuahia, Salem Chigozirim, has been remanded in custody of the Nigeria Correctional Service for allegedly strangling a 45-year-old housewife, Virginia Ndife, and another lady, Chioma Nwoke.
