James Okoh and Victor Uchenna Okefie

TWO undergraduates of the Ebo­nyi State University, 26-year-old James Okoh and Victor Uchenna Okefie, 27, are now cooling their heels in the cold embrace of the of the Anti-Kidnapping Squad, AKS, where they are being interrogated, following their arrest by the Enugu State Police Command.
Okoh and Okefie, who had been at large, allegedly conspired to murder, Mrs. Stella Uhuo, a US-based lady who was visiting home on vacation.

Prior to the dastardly act Ohuo had been a......
benefactor to Okoh, a final year Sociology student of the university, who hails from Amata in Afikpo North Local Government Area, Ebonyi State. She asked members of her family to come to the airport to receive her.
She was said to have intimated Okoh about her planned visit and requested him to come to the airport so that he could take her to Abakaliki to deliver some luggage given to her by some friends in the United States for onward delivery to their families.

According to source, on the fateful day, November 14, 2015, the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Nwodibo Ekechuk­wu, told that the family of the deceased joyfully turned out at the airport to receive her. Okoh also came with his friend in a Volvo car.
Her personal luggage were put in the car brought by family, while the ones she wanted to take to Abakaliki were loaded into the boot of the Volvo car with registration number Lagos EKY 855 CY. After the exchange of pleasantries, the family left while Ohuo, Okoh and Okefie headed to Abakaliki. The time was about 10.00am.
Okefie sat at the back of the car while Okoh drove with Ohuo sitting in front, completely at peace, unknown to her that they had a heinous plan. Along the way, Okoh diverted off the busy Enugu-Abakaliki road, to a side road away from passing cars. From the back, Okefie lunged forward, grabbed Ohuo by the neck with a choking hold while Okoh viciously hit her on the head. Then Okefie strangled her. When her legs ceased kicking as life ebbed out and her heart stopped beating, the duo, still acting out their carefully scripted evil plan, calmly searched her and took all the money she had in dollars and her iPad and broke the SIM cards of her phones. They ran to their hostel at Ebonyi State University and later went to Sabongari in Abakaliki to change the dollars to Naira and got over N850,000.
They burnt the clothes of the deceased, and shared all the male clothes we saw in the luggage.”
