The father of slain girl, Mr. Wilfred Nwovueze, who was killed in Port Harcourt by her boyfriend, Prince Owabie, insists the suspect must marry her corpse.


The victim’s father has insisted that Prince Owabie aka J-BOY, the suspected killer of his pregnant daughter, Betty Nwovueze, must marry her corpse.


He told reporters on Thursday that the marriage is in line with a compulsory traditional rites of Ndele people in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State where the deceased was from. He said:

"I don’t want any problem. That girl is my daughter and what I want the Police to do is to allow this J-Boy of a man or his family members to marry my daughter before they bury her.

All the rites that are due any girl of marriageable age in my community will be done so that there will be no calamity."

Her body has been exhumed by the Rivers state Police Command from the suspect’s apartment and will be deposited in the morgue after which an autopsy will be conducted.

The groom's men and the bridal train should get ready for the marriage between the living and the dead!

why kill someone you claim to love I'm the first place

If your buying a wedding gown
For a dead Bride will it cost same
For a living bride!?

Just asking tho..

It might save cost marrying the dead!!

I support the father's stupidity. As long as he believes he can still go ahead to sell his daughter in marriage as planned whether dead or alive.

He cant nurture her from birth to adulthood and won't reap the benefits of what he sowed
