A lady from Rivers State reportedly killed her lover, she met on Badoo, a social networking platform.
The lady, Loretta Odikagbo, 26, a student of Rivers State Polytechnic, met the victim, Charles Bankole Orisanya in 2014 and after a couple of months of online dating, they began to see each other physically, Tribune reports.
Charles worked with Halliburton in Rivers State, and had reportedly promised to spoil Loretta with lots of money. However, Loretta became unhappy during the course of the relationship, as Charles was not giving her as much money as promised.
“When I met him, it was all promises upon promises. Along the line, the sex was going on and the money was not coming. He would give me N10,000, N15,000 but that was not what I expected from him. Also when we first met, to me, he was a single man but along the line, I discovered he was married.
We talked about it, but he didn’t want the affair to end. He said that it would not be a problem and he could handle it. But I only continued with him because I was waiting for the promises to be fulfilled. I was not interested in marrying him. We had a bit of misunderstanding concerning money and our relationship, so I asked my friend who is also my in-law to help me so that I could get the money forcefully from Bankole,” she said.
On one night, when Charles invited her to his home, she sneaked in two men, who would help carry out her plan to forcefully obtain the money.
Loretta, along with her two accomplices, are said to have attacked Charles shortly after he woke up from sleep. They then reportedly forced him to reveal his ATM pin number and afterwards, they tied him up with a rope and masking tape. She is said to have covered her lover’s head with a polythene bag after taping his mouth, and subsequently sat on his head.
Afterwards, they stole his phone, laptop, and other belongings, then proceeded to the ATM machine and withdrew N120,000.
Loretta has denied knowledge of his death. She told police “I didn’t have the intention of dating him anymore; I just wanted to move on. I only knew about Bankole’s death when I was arrested.”
