Sunset At Noon: The Murder of Niger Delta University’s Female Student In Bayelsa.

The decomposing body of a 200 level Science Education student of Niger Delta University (NDU),Amassoma,Bayelsa administrative,Jenifer Ugadu Chinyere has been recovered in her off campus apartment.

Sources had it that her soldier boyfriend was the one responsible for the murder. The boyfriend, James Matol alias Jay Mato and the deceased have been dating for five years.The relationship,which have gone through many turbulent times because of alleged cheating by Jenifer had caused Jay Mato depression and had attempted taking his own life since June.But Jay thought it twice that many would say he is a weakling who died for nothing.

He then planned to kill the girl and later kill himself. Of course,he carried out the plan on Sunday, 11/7/2021 the day Jenifer returned from Lagos after their break to Bayelsa.Her room mate was traveling while handing the keys to Jay because she knew him as her friend’s boyfriend.

After then,Jenifer was declared missing until Jay’s message on Jenifer’s departmental WhatsApp group revealed he had killed her and planning to kill himself by 12pm.But how did he do it?.He also called his parents that he had killed Jenifer and would come for them,that they had insisted he shouldn’t date her.What a thought, a killer on the sprawl. Was he drunk or high or something???.

Maybe,one of those zombie young recruits who feel enlisting in the military gives them room to unabatedly violate civil orders and norms.They are the ones that refers to the civilian populace as,’bloody civilians ‘.They feel they can kill at will ,harass any class of civilians, obtain by force and always jump queues because of their uniforms.Iam on the know that their senior colleagues do not take these breakdown of law and order.They’re quite schooled to interpret the fact that we are in a civilian regime exercising our democratic ideals but the recruits are blind to this fact.

Jay should be allowed to face the weight of his crime.The law is sacrosanct, he who kills must be killed. Thank goodness he didn’t carryout his threats. More heads would have rolled.

He murdered her perhaps after a scuttle as the scattered apartment indicated.Then stabbed her multiple times and shot her at the back to lay her on her bed.He severed her thumb which he used to unlock her phone and started using it then logged into her departmental WhatsApp group.

Hmm….What’s happening these days?.Murder cases involving lovers.Just three weeks ago it was Chidinma Ojukwu who murdered her billionaire media guru,Michael Usifo Ataga which of course is having another twist of what she earlier admitted.

Its a tough world,even love has gone awry.Its high time we start reading the handwriting on the wall to know when the love tango is breaking, let’s never wait the breaking point.It could be catastrophic.

While waiting for further investigations by the police, we pray for the deceased family and for the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
