Ifezue Chiamaka and Ifezue Emeka, two siblings, have been
arraigned before a magistrate court sitting in Enugu over the alleged murder of
Ijeoma Nweke, a makeup artist.
Chiamaka was alleged to have conspired with her brother to
kill Ijeoma, a graduate of Imo University (IMSU), for “having an affair with
her boyfriend.”
It is understood that Chiamaka allegedly lured Ijeoma to a
yet-to-be-identified place with the promise of giving her a makeup gig.
While suspecting foul play, it was gathered that Ijeoma
immediately sent a message to a friend before being forced to drink a poisonous
substance.
The siblings were also alleged to have poured a substance
believed to be acid on the deceased’s body.
It was gathered that the deceased went missing in November
2020 after taking an order for a make-up session.
This had prompted anxiety on social media after friends and
family members took to Twitter to seek details about her whereabouts.
During the hearing of the case on Wednesday, an eyewitness
told the court that he saw Chaimaka’s brother allegedly pouring acid on the
deceased’s body after they dumped her corpse at the Maryland axis of Enugu
Metropolis.
The deceased’s boyfriend was also present at the court and
reportedly reiterated his willingness to testify against the two siblings.

Nigerians on Twitter demand justice for Ijeoma
The development has since ignited reactions on social media,
with many Nigerians calling on authorities to ensure the perpetrators are
brought to book.
Joining the fray, Mercy Eke, a former BBNaija housemate,
described the deceased as her coursemate. She added that Ijeoma was one of the
best students in her department during her time in school.
“Ijeoma neke was my coursemate a very brilliant young woman,
she graduated with a 2/1. ijeoma was one of the best in my department(
psychology Dept .2010/2014) we always tease each other and I will tell her
“girl you must work in my rehabilitation center,” she wrote.
“And she will say mercy this department doesn’t fit you and
we will laugh over it, when I heard she was missing we hopped and prayed they
find her alive, my heart is pleading we want justice, just must be served.”

How can a man help his sister kill another woman (Ijeoma) just because she's dating his sister's boyfriend? Why didn't he talk the sister out of such evil? This is painful. 💔#JusticeForIjeoma pic.twitter.com/9vOnFQRuyM

If this other lady goes to prison now or is sentenced to death, the guy continues with his life.
See en, anything that happens, always learn to move on. Fighting over a man/ a woman or the likes doesn’t worth it.
