It is reported that the incident happened at Ben’s residence in Karu, Abuja. It was gathered that he had dated the deceased for 10years without officially marrying her despite having a child together, a seven-year-old girl. Tr@uble started
when Maria decided to quit the relationship after she found another lover, who wanted to marry her and had fixed December to commence marital rites.

According to the family members, Ben allegedly thre@tened to k#ll his ex-lover’s new man or both of them if she didn’t leave him. He made his thre@t real when on Sunday, May 23, 2022, he stormed her apartment at Maraba, Abuja, around 5 pm when her new lover visited and demanded that she should discharge him.

“She refused and did not allow him inside. They were reportedly talking outside the house before he lured her into his car for further discussion. As soon as they got inside the car, Ben locked the doors and allegedly thre@tened her with a gun, saying he would k#ll her if she refused to discharge the new lover.

After inflicting m#ntal tr@uma, he left her. The next day, Monday 24, he returned to complete what he started,” Maria’s elder sister, Cecilia told SaharaReporters. She added that Benedict later called her to come to the Nigeria Customs Service hospital in Karu around 8:30 pm on Monday, to see the de@d body of her sister. (Cont’d on next slide)
