| Kelechi and his late lover, Njideka |
The gallantry of the Nigeria Police in partnership with
the INTERPOL led to the arrest of 31-year old Kelechi Williams, at the border
between Ghana and Cote D’Ivore, while fleeing with a deceased’s Range Rover
Sports Utility Vehicle, SUV, with number plate LAGOS EKY 509 AZ.
The deceased is his late lover, Njideka Nzewe who he
allegedly strangled in her apartment in Lagos.
Kelechi narrated how he killed his girl/woman friend:
“I came back from Ghana to visit her on July 16, 2014
which was on a Wednesday. The next day we went out and came back late.
“On Friday, she told me to stay back at home and rest
because I was tired. She left the house, saying she was going to the new
apartment she was to pack into, assuring me she would be back as usual by 6
p.m.
“But she did not return by 6pm. Rather, the gate man
came with a power generating set, saying madam had gone to drop the workers.
“When it was 8 p.m. and I did not see her, I started
calling her on phone but she did not pick. I called her up to 30 times without
response.
“She came back by midnight and when I asked why she did
not pick my calls, she said the phone was in silent mode. I brought out my
phone and called her line only for it to ring.
“At that point I noticed she was drunk. I got angry and
asked if that was the way she would pay me back for leaving everything in Ghana
to come and spend time with her. I threatened to quit the relationship. But at
that point, her phone rang and I told her to pick it but she insisted that I
should pick it and when I did, the caller, who was a male, asked ‘baby are you
home?’
“Immediately she discovered it was a male’s voice, she
snatched the phone from me and asked why I should pick her calls. I reminded
her of a similar incident when she came to visit me in Ghana and my phone rang.
She pick it and on discovering it was a female, she smashed the phone on the
ground, without knowing who the caller was.
“I reminded her also that she collected my other phones
from me and brought them to Nigeria. In anger, I took the phone and smashed it
on the ground.
“Before I knew it, she threw my things outside, saying I
should leave her house. I told her to give me the N300,000 she borrowed from me
to buy an air conditioner, if she wanted me to leave but she said she had no
money with her and gave me her ATM card which she said had just N140,000.
“At a point, she slapped me and we started fighting. She
held on to my manhood and started stretching it. That was when I held the
wrapper that was around her neck and used it to strangle her, thereby forcing
her to let go my manhood. She fell down and became motionless.
“Immediately, I took her three phones, ATM card and went
outside to meet the gate man to see me off to any ATM machine, where I withdrew
N100,000.
“I dropped the gateman at home, and told him I was going
to pump the tyre. At that point, I knew I was in trouble. I did not go back to
her house for fear of being arrested.
“I drove straight to Mile Two, from where I picked a
driver who drove me down to Ghana. I spent some days in Ghana before I decided
to leave for Cote d’Ivoire,where unfortunately I was arrested.
“I never wanted to kill her. I have never fought in my
life, let alone kill somebody. I did not also steal her jewellery and N8
million as claimed by the Police. The only money I withdrew was N100,000 and
her phone.”
According to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police,
Umar Manko:
“after the suspect killed the woman, he locked the door
from outside, apparently to make it look as if they had gone out…
“a new International Passport which bore the suspect’s
name and the surname of his deceased’s lover, was found on him, suggesting that
the motive was pre-empted”
Back in Ghana, preliminary investigation, according to
the Police, revealed that the suspect took the SUV to church, declaring it was
his.
Police sources said he made an unspecified donation to
the church and also threw a party to celebrate the new car.
