A Nigerian soldier, identified as James Matol, has been accused of killing his girlfriend, Ugadu Jennifer, a 200-level student of the Faculty of Education at the Niger Delta University (NDU), Wilberforce Island, Amassoma, Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, for allegedly cheating on him.
This was contained in a statement on Tuesday titled, ‘Death of a university undergraduate at Amassoma’, by the spokesperson for the command, Asinim Butswat.
According to reports, Jennifer, aged 23 was found dead on Sunday, June 11, 2021 in her apartment with multiple stab injuries and bullet wounds on her body. She was found dead days after she was killed, as her body was already decomposing.
