A 300-level biochemistry student of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT), Miss Otuene Justina Nkang, was brutally murdered by her boyfriend, who is suspected of being a ritual killer and internet fraudster, popularly known as a Yahoo Boy.
The incident happened at NTA road, Port Harcourt, in Rivers State.
Miss Nkang, who hailed from Agana in Andoni local government area of Rivers State, was reported missing three days ago by her family and friends.
Torizone reports that her dismembered body was found on Wednesday evening in a nylon bag, as her boyfriend, identified only as Collins, was trying to dispose of it.
He was apprehended by his estate security and taken to his apartment where fresh human blood was discovered in his room.
The motive behind the gruesome killing is yet to be established, but some sources told our correspondent that Collins was allegedly involved in ritual practices and used his girlfriend as a sacrifice.
He was later handed over to the police for proper investigation.
Friends of the deceased and students of UNIPORT have expressed shock and grief over the tragic death of Miss Nkang, who many described as a bright and promising student.
They have also called for more security measures to protect students from such heinous crimes.
