Operatives of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command have apprehended Ifeanyi Victor for allegedly strangling his newlywed wife Evelyn Alifia.

Alifia was killed on February 18, 2022 at their home in Lugbe area of the FCT.

According to reports, the couple began dating last year and got engaged in August, just months after.

Alifia, against the advice of her pastor, Evelyn, a mother-of-one, chose to be with Ifeanyi.

In December 2021, they updated their Facebook friends that they are married.

Ifeanyi, who is jobless, moved in with Alifia and she started bearing the financial burden for the family.

Things began to deteriorate after it was alleged that she was alleged of being constantly abused and maltreated at every provocation by Ifeanyi who threatened to kill her.

Consequently, it was said that late Alifia began planning to move out of the house when she found a gun in Ifeanyi’s bag on Saturday February 18, 2022.

She contacted her sister and informed her what she discovered which prompted her to inform the police.

It was reported that Ifeanyi having discovered her moves strangled Alifia to death and locked her body in their room before taking off.

He reportedly called Evelyn’s family and informed them of their daughter’s death. Reports say he ran off with Evelyn’s phone and ATM and promised her family that he will return them later.

Alifia’s decomposed body was recovered on Monday, February 21.
