A 27-year-old woman, Oluchi Nzemechi, has landed in police net for allegedly stabbing her husband, Kelechi Nzemechi, to death during disagreement over sharing proceeds of fraud.

Imo state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Henry Okoye, alleged that the deceased is an internet fraudster aka Yahoo Boy and they were having issues over the sharing formula after cashing out.

According to a statement released by the spokesperson, Oluchi, from Ikeduru Local Government Area of Imo State, admitted committing the crime.

The suspect narrated how her husband lured her into cybercrime when they were still dating, and in one of their operations, they succeeded in duping an Indonesian of 250 million rupiah.

When she was discussing with her lover how the money would be shared, an argument erupted between them, and in the process, she stabbed him with a kitchen knife.

The suspect said that when she discovered Kelechi was dead, she looked for a way to exonerate herself from the crime. She picked up a piece of paper and wrote a death threat on it to give the impression that he was killed by someoe he offended.

Oluchi wrote; “You think you can eat my money and go free? I am baba for the boys. I am coming for your wife and your child, including your family,” and placed it on the lifeless body of the victim before running away from the house.

The lady who is now in detention was said to have also disclosed that she had been living with the victim since 2019 and had a child with Kelechi.

ASP Okoye said that necessary steps have been taken to recover the alleged 250 million Indonesian Rupiah for a possible return to the owner.
