I str√ck her with a wooden object, my friend sl!t her thr0at – Suspect details how he and his accomplice rap£d, k!lled Imo nursing student

The primary suspect, a local ‘vulcanizer’ (tyre technician) identified as Onyema Okonkwo, alongside his fleeing accomplice, Emmanuel Onyekachi, cornered the victim inside her off-campus lodge at Umuadara Umulogho, where they reportedly took turns r@ping her before sl!tting her thro@t to cover up the crime.

Okonkwo, who was apprehended by aggrieved community youths before being handed over to the police, made a graphic, viral video confession detailing how the pre-planned assault turned into a gruesome homicide on Thursday night, May 21, 2026.

The victim, Chinwendu Achumba, was a student at the College of Nursing Sciences, Umulogho. On the night of the attack, she was completely alone in her apartment as her roommates had temporarily travelled out of the area for their mandatory clinical experience.

Okonkwo had repeatedly made romantic advances toward Achumba, all of which she firmly rejected. Bent on forcing himself on her, Okonkwo hatched a plan with his friend, Onyekachi.

Narrating the horrific incident at the local police station before his transfer to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Owerri, on Saturday Okonkwo stated, “At about 7:00 p.m., me and my friend Emmanuel, I don’t know his surname, who is a phone charger, arrived at her lodge. We noticed nobody was around. We went straight to her room and asked her for sxx, but she refused.

“Me and my friend had already planned together to seek her consent to have sexual intercourse, but unfortunately, when we made our intentions known, she refused. When she refused, we started forcing her.”

Fearing the immediate legal and social repercussions of their actions, and realizing that Achumba could easily identify them to the community and school authorities, the suspects resorted to murder.

“During the struggle, I struck her with a wooden object. She fell, and my friend carried a knife he saw around the house and sl!t her thro@t,” the suspect confessed.

After ensuring she was de@d, the two men stole the victim’s mobile phone and fled the scene.
