A tailor identified as Kenneth macheted his ex-lover, Ebenezer Agada to death, for allegedly ditching him.
Investigation revealed that Kenneth arrived Kaduna from Makurdi and later checked in into one of the hotels at Waff road, just a stone throw from where his estranged lover, Ebenezer works.
It was gathered that after several calls to the lady, without a response, Kenneth hatched a plan on how to take the pond of flesh from her for not picking his calls.
However, Kenneth, who was remanded in custody on 20 April, 2023 by Kaduna Chief Magistrate Court disclosed that when he could not get across to Ebenezer he went to Kaduna central market where he purchased a machete for N2000 and got it sharpened and returned back to his base waiting for the right time to strike.
The suspect said he is a tailor by profession and he had invested so much money and time on the dead estranged lover, whom he claimed have been in a relationship with him for 6 years.
According to the Suspect,
he decided in order to win her back, he decided to travel all the way from Makurdi to Kaduna because he had not communicated with his estranged lover for months, because they had a covenant to marry each other, and never leave each other, but was shocked when he got to Kaduna that she was not picking his calls, prompting him to map out a plan on how to get to her.
He added that she works in a pharmacy along Waff road, and resides in one of the schools with her Aunty on the same road, from where he proceeded with his evil plans.
