A Nigerian man, Benjamin Emily Charles is currently demanding justice for his cousin, Ashulee Winnie Bahago, who was allegedly strangled by her boyfriend in Kaduna state.
Benjamin in a post he shared on Facebook alleged that his cousin had gone to visit her boyfriend at his place.
He claimed that during the visit she received a call from her ex boyfriend and this infuriated her boyfriend who b£@t her and then strangled her.
”THE B@ST@RD THAT K#LL€D MY COUSIN SISTER HERE IN U/BORO, OH…! WINNIE(ASHULI)…! RIP. When she went to his house, and a call from her Ex-boyfriend came into her phone.
And that created a quarrel where he sl@pped her and she sl@pped back, and said she will leave his house and never come back again.
So he blocked his door that she will not leave and then she began struggling, wanting to go home. And he started be@ting her, till he strangled her to death.
Pls and pls help us cry for Justice
My entire family are in pains now. This m%nster shouldn’t go free.God bless the humble soul of our beloved sister
Ashulee Winnie Bahago,” he wrote.
Benjamin says the suspect whose name he gave as Sylvester Folorunsho, is now in police custody.
The police in Kaduna state is yet to comment on the incident.
