The son of the pastor of Freedom Chapel International Church, Kubwa, Mr. Kelechi Amadi has been detained for allegedly killing and dismembering his girlfriend, Anita, and throwing her into a river.
The remains of an unnamed woman were discovered inside two bags along the river at PW close to Kubwa Area, Abuja, on Monday, June 20, 2022.
The body’s bags were opened by scavengers looking for scraping objects, who also notified the populace, source told The Bureau.
The mob attracted a Keke rider (tricycle) who had picked up Kelechi with the bags the day before, and he stopped to check what was going on.
He recognized the bags that the traveler had claimed were rubbish and dumped near the river.
The Keke Rider called his supervisor right away, who called the police. The police were then taken to Kelechi’s home, where arrests were made.
Prior to being moved to the FCT Police Command, Garki, for additional investigation, the suspect was apprehended and detained at Kubwa Divisional Police Headquarters.
Later, he admitted to his crimes.
Since then, the crime scene and church have been closed off.
