CALABAR—On January 1, at Ochon in Obubra Local Government Area of Cross River State, a 29-year-old, Dominic, allegedly shot and killed his ex-lover, Miss Angela Agbor, over their relationship that went sour.

A source, who preferred anonymity, told Vanguard that the victim had left home for Calabar, in search of greener pastures after the break up.

Vanguard gathered that Angela was killed when she arrived Ochon on January 1, to join her parents for the New Year celebration.

The source disclosed that the jealous lover lured the late Angela to accompany him to Ohama Market to buy clothes for their four-year-old daughter.

The source said: “All of a sudden, Dominic pulled out a gun and shot Angela and she died on the spot.

“He then made a call to a close relation of his, who called police in Obubra. Police ambushed and arrested the suspect.”

Acting Divisional Police Officer of Obubra, Noah Ntuen, who confirmed the incident to Vanguard, said police recovered a locally-made pistol and that the case had been transferred to the state police headquarters for further investigations.
