I don’t know the girl’s name but they both stay together, he is a fashion designer. On Sunday, when I went to check up on him, his girlfriend told me he went to the toilet after by nine, and has not returned. I went there on Monday. She said he is not yet back, but she is the one that killed him, She didn’t run actually; she was staying at one of his friends’ place around Marine Base. I don’t know why she didn’t run, but we didn’t know the guy was inside. She killed him and put him under the bed.
I don’t know what caused it, but we were told this morning when they caught her that she said she was jealous that he was carrying different women, and the death was caused by poisoning. She poisoned his food, based on what she told us, because I was there on Sunday evening to check up on him because he has my job that he is doing for me, so when I went there she told me that they have been looking for Ubong, I asked what happened and she said he went to the toilet that he was putting on only shirt with his shorts that he kept his phone in the house and went out. So probably the phone was with her. We didn’t know that she don kill this boy put am under bed. So that was what really happened.”
The family of the deceased has been notified, and they are expected to arrive from Akwa Ibom State to claim Ubong’s body.
Meanwhile, preliminary information reveals that the suspect has been arrested by the police and is currently in custody.
