She also said the deceased was not in a relationship with the suspect.

“Nobody deserves to die this way. Even if she was his girlfriend, she didn’t deserve to die this way,” she said.

The deceased’s sister, Patience Adaidu, told local TV outlet News Central that she was disappointed at the way the police were handling the case and called for help from Nigerians.

“Police have not given us any information about my sister… They have not answered our questions… We demand justice, we need help from Nigerians.”
