How Austria- Based Business Woman Was Killed By Lover by Cyb3rhack3r: 6:44am On Jan 03, 2015 |
A crack team of crime investigators from the Edo State police command headquarters in Benin City are battling to unravel the circumstances that led to the brutal murder of a 45 year old Austria-based Nigerian citizen, Rose Aifuwa, in the hand of her lover around her residence located at Upper Mission road in Benin, in the wee hours of 25th December, 2014. The suspect allegedly knocked down the mother of three with his Honda car and dragged her body for over 500 meters after the late Rose was said to have demanded the payment of her money amounting to N20 million from a business transaction she had with her lover. The late Rose and Festus, according to family sources, were said to be business acquaintances initially before love crept in few months after they met through a third party in Benin, a relationship the deceased was said to have enjoyed, making her entrust the control and management of her business transactions in Nigeria to the lover, who later reciprocated her love by taking her life. The deceased prior to her untimely death was a major importer of fairly used cars popularly referred to as ‘Tokunbo’ and spare parts which Festus helped to sell to customers in Benin. Festus, it was gathered, achieved an appreciable level of financial independence owing to the profit he made from the sales of the imported goods from late Rose. It was also gathered that a plot of land being developed at Aduwawa part of the town and the Honda car owned by Festus were bought for him by his Austria-based lover. Journey To Death On the said day the incident occurred, the deceased was said to have complained bitterly to close family members over failed attempts and pressure to get Festus remit to her all money made from the sales of cars and spare parts she had imported in the care of (Festus) but she was always confronted with physical attacks and abuse, a situation which often led to public quarrels among the lovers. Trouble was said to have started on 24th December 2014 when late Rose arrived Nigeria to spend the Christmas celebration with her 80-year-old mother and her siblings and she later invited the suspect to her residence at night and demanded the payment of her money. It was gathered that the suspect spent the night at her No 72 Upper Mission residence and that when the suspect was about leaving in the early hours of the morning, the deceased insisted that he pay the money owed her. The suspect in a bid to escape, ran into his car, drove and hit the deceased who had run after him. He allegedly dragged the body under the vehicle and eventually dumped the mangled body near a filling station at Upper Mission Junction where residents woke to discover it. The suspect who is in the custody of the police was taken to the scene of the incident by detectives in Benin after it was discovered that he dragged the body along the road for over 500 meters. He was said to have confessed to killing his lover. The octogenarian mother of the deceased, Mrs Victoria Aifuwa, wept uncontrollably when LEADERSHIP Weekend visited her Aduwawa resident and met her surrounded by family members and sympathisers who held her as she looked blankly at the sky, dazed by the pain the exit of her benefactor and daughter had caused her. Iye (a name for aged women in Benin) gave an account of the relationship between her late daughter and the lover and what transpired less than 24 hours before her brutal death. “I was with my daughter at her residence at Upper Mission on the 24th of December, 2014 and when it was 7pm I told my daughter that I wanted to leave for home because I wasn’t feeling too well, coupled with the cold weather. She laughed and called me an old woman, saying I should come back the next day which was Christmas day. “Festus, my daughter’s boyfriend, whom they often call 2 million, was with my daughter with some of his friends having drinks when I left them; only for me to hear a knock on my gate that my daughter’s dead body is lying at a junction. “Later, the people that came were trying to hide the matter from me, saying it was a minor injury that she sustained. Some people said she was shot in the back, while others said her intestines came out. The killer of my daughter said they both slept together and that when he wanted to leave my daughter held him, insisting he must pay her the money he owed over some business transactions. It was at that point he knocked her down with his vehicle and dragged her on the ground, which led to her death. “My world has crumbled. I don’t know what to do. I am in hell without my daughter; she is all I have. Each time my daughter brings goods from abroad, I usually call Festus and after selling he doesn’t remit money. I never knew the same man would eventually kill my daughter and leave me in deep pain,” she wailed. Continuing, she added, “my daughter even rented an apartment for him with over N250, 000 because they are going out. My daughter said she wanted to uplift his social status and went as far as buying him a car because her friends usually mocked her over going out with someone of a lower social status. “Aside that, she had even started building a house for him at Aduwawa. Festus controlled most of her business dealings in Nigeria. Recently, she complained to me that the bulk of her money unremitted is in the custody of Festus, so I advised her not to give him any more goods. My daughter trusted him and that was why she opened her heart to him by ensuring that he is in charge of her business dealings,” the grieving mother stated. She appealed to the Edo State police commissioner, Folusho Adebanjo and the state governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole to intervene in the matter for justice to done in the killing of her daughter. A resident of the area who alleged that she woke up on Christmas day to find the corpse of the woman, told journalists on condition of anonymity that the deceased was dragged on a tarred road for about 500 metres, tied to the back of a car. “I didn’t open my shop on that day because it was Christmas day. But when I came out that morning, I saw people shouting. So, I quickly rushed to the spot where I saw a dead woman with deeps cuts all over her body. “The woman looked like someone who was not living in Nigeria. I thought she was a victim of ritualists but I heard people saying that she was killed by her boyfriend who tied her to his bus and dragged her from her house in Lucky Way to the junction. “I really felt bad because she had a hole in her back and her intestines were out because of the way she was dragged and I could not even look at the face of her brother who came to buy something this morning because he was very angry,” she said. Another resident who also did not want his name in print described the murder of the deceased as barbaric and faulted claims by the suspect that the deceased fell from a moving bus. “I think the police should not believe that because there were cuts on her body as if she had been butchered. It is evil for someone to kill another who came back home to celebrate the Christmas with her family,” he said. Spokesman of the Edo State police command, DSP Joseph Edoigiawerie, who confirmed the incident in a telephone interview, said the case has been reported by a relation of the deceased and would be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department. “A case of murder was reported by one Elvis Omokhojie, that his sister, named Rose Aifuwa, was found lying down on Upper Mission extension junction, Aduwawa in Benin City, and the cause of death unknown. “We have been to the scene of incident and taken the corpse to the mortuary. Our investigations led to the arrest of the lover, because according to the report, he (the suspect) was last seen with her,” he said. Meanwhile, the Austrian government has contacted the Nigerian police over Aifuwa’s death, following information that the deceased flew into Nigeria with an Austrian passport. http://www..com/2015/01/so-sad-how-austrian-nigerian.html http://leadership.ng/features/399432/austria-based-business-woman-killed-lover |
