The spokesman of the police in the state, Orlando Ikeokwu, in a statement said that on March 28, operatives of the Divisional Police headquarters in Okigwe, acting on a report, arrested one Chinelo Joseph for  the murder  of  one Okenna Ekwebelem.

Ikeokwu said that  both of them had been  in a relationship for sometime and that on the day of the crime, Chinelo visited the deceased and after spending time with him, she decided to leave.

The spokesman added that the deceased refused and Chinelo insisted on leaving and as soon as she left, the late Okenna ran and blocked  her and directed her to go back to his house.

The police spokesman said that the girl refused and this led to altercation and in response he began to beat her.
