A Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has sentenced to
death by hanging one Azubuike Ogonor from Ahoada Local Council of the
state, for killing his girlfriend, Miss Blessing Iyumame.
The trial judge, Justice Chioma Ada Okorie, said the convict,
Ogonor, in his confessional statements made in police and prison cells,
confessed to have committed the crime by pouring petrol on the victim
and ignited it with matches, which burnt and, consequently, led to her
death.
The court noted during trial that the convict and victim did not
have issues of misunderstanding earlier that could have led to the
attack, having spent the night together peacefully on the fateful day.
According to the court, Ogonor set Iyumame ablaze after he saw her
in company of another man, fearing that his girlfriend might jilt him.
It was gathered that when the incident occurred in the convict’s
room, it was a neighbour that came to the victim’s rescue and rushed her
to a hospital in Ahoada, before Iyumame mother took her to the
University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH), where she later
passed on.
The judge, however, thanked the parties involved in the case for
their patience till the end of the case, which lasted 12 years and four
months.
Speaking to newsmen shortly after the judgment, the prosecution
counsel, Chijioke Boms, said the court has done justice to the case,
advising that people should not take law into their hands no matter the
provocation.
Also, counsel for the convict, N. S. Ibrahim, pleaded for leniency,
while father of the deceased, Jonathan Iyumame, expressed happiness
that at last, the law has taken its course.
