Man allegedly kills girlfriend to stop her from traveling abroad, marries her corpse

A Nigerian man has allegedly killed his girlfriend in a desperate attempt to stop her from travelling abroad — and later married her corpse.

This shocking incident was shared by a user on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

The post, made by @babypeekor, claimed the deceased was the sister of her friend.

According to the account, the lady had plans to leave the country, but her boyfriend was strongly against it. In a tragic turn of events, he allegedly murdered her to prevent her from leaving.

Following the incident, he was reportedly arrested, but his family secured his release on bail.

To the dismay of many, the family went further to arrange a marriage ceremony between him and the deceased.

My friend’s sister was killed because her boyfriend didn’t want her to travel out. He was arrested, but his family bailed him and just married the corpse. There was no justice for her, and the fool is alive and free. Hmm!” the post read.

As the story circulated online, many users flooded the comment section with outrage, disbelief, and calls for justice.
