But relations of the victim, one of them, Jane Chukwudi spoke to DAILY POST. He said, ” We have been battling the problem of her pregnancy, and in anger she left the house in the early hours that she was going to Benin to see a cousin, a medical Doctor, only for a call to us that she had been murdered in cold blood, the assailants removed vital parts of her body.”
