Photo : Jealous Ex-girlfriend Sets Boyfriend's Current Girlfriend Ablaze In Enugu

Tragedy occurred at Onugba Nike area of Enugu
State on August 24th, after 20-year-old Cynthia
Onah, out of jealousy set ablaze another woman,
22-year old Chinwe Igwe for snatching her
boyfriend, one Chika Kelechi.
According to SunNews, Chika and Chinwe who
had dated each other for almost five years, had a
misunderstanding and stopped dating each
other.
Chika later met Cynthia, a prostitute and they
started dating. But after a month of being
together, they too had issues and split.
Along the line, Chika got to meet his former girl
Chinwe. They got to reconcile and started their
love life all over again.
Unfortunately, Cynthia wasn't going to let them
be together.
Cynthia Onah reportedly threatened that she
would never leave Chika for any other lady. She
threatened Chinese, warned her to stay away
from Chika.
When Chika and Chinese continued their
relationship, on that fateful day, Cynthia and
another suspect, one Obiora Chukwuegbo
stormed Chika's home at 11:30pm with a gallon
of fuel, emptied its content on Chinwe who was
already asleep and set her on fire.
The Assistant Commissioner of Police, State CID
Enugu, Mr. Philip Ogbadu told Sunday
Sun that they have been able to arrest the three
suspects, Chika Kelechi, Cynthia Onah and
Obiora Chukwuegbo and that the case is still
under investigation.
The boyfriend, Chika told Sunday Sun :
I am a driver and I've been dating Chinwe
for the past five years. We had little quarrel
and we stopped dating.
I meet Cynthia who is a prostitute and
dated her for just one month. We separated
one month after because at times she
would be chasing me with a knife. I
couldn't bear it and so I went back to settle
with my former girlfriend.
Cynthia didn't give up as she
threatened that she was going to deal with
us. She even threatened to pour acid on
me.
Being a driver, I travelled the day Cynthia
burnt my girlfriend. It was one of my
neighbours that called me to say that my
house was on fire and that somebody
poured fuel under the door and it
exploded and burnt my girlfriend who was
sleeping in the room; that they have
rescued her through the window.
When I got home, I saw that all my
property had been burnt to ashes. My
girlfriend was hospitalized because she
sustained injuries from the fire. But I am
determined and I have promised God that
with the condition of my girlfriend that I
am still going to marry her.
The suspect, Cynthia said:
"I started dating Chika when he had
misunderstanding with his former girlfriend,
Chinwe.We dated for one month and then
he told me that he was no longer interested
in marrying me.
Chika is owing me N12,000.
When we had a quarrel, I did not threaten
him with a knife. I only used the knife to
deflate his tyres.
I have quarreled with Chinwe several times.
I sent her a text message to leave my
boyfriend. Because she threatened me, I
also threatened her that she will never
enjoy the relationship.
I don't know anything about who took fuel
to the house of her boyfriend and burnt
the house.
On that fateful day, Chika called my phone
at night and said that I should meet him at
Emene junction. I was out waiting for him
when the policemen from the State CID
arrested me.
I didn't know anything about the incident. I
only know we have traded words.
When Sunday Sun visited the victim at the
Annunciation Specialist Hospital Emene Area,
Enugu State, she said:
I am still shocked at what happened. I
regret dating Chika as I have been turned
to something else now.
I saw Cynthia Onah and Chukwuegbo
Obiora after they had poured fuel under
the door and fire was everywhere. I was
calling him for help. It was when I was
calling for help through the other window
that I saw Cynthia Onah and Obiora
Chkwuegbo running away and I was
shouting for help until the neighbours broke
one of the windows and carried me out
from the window.
My relationship with Chika is over. I am in
pains and agony. I didn't know what to do.
I was sleeping and suddenly I saw smoke
and it exploded and caught fire. I
could have been burnt to ashes if not for
the neighbours who broke through the
window and rescued me,"
CP Adamu said the suspects would soon be
charged to court.
