30-year-old jealous boyfriend shoots female lover for not giving him attention

A 30-year-old jealous lover has confessed to shooting his female lover because she was not giving him enough attention.

Seun Ojo, the suspect, said Enny, his girlfriend, had not been giving him enough, but instead giving the attention to other men and alleged her of involving herself in prostitution.

The incident took place in Owo, headquarters of Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State.

Ojo, who was taken round with 44 other suspected criminals at the Ondo State Security Network Agency’s headquarters, popularly known as Amotekun Corps, revealed that he had been having misunderstanding with his female lover for some time prior to the incident.

“My girlfriend’s name is Enny, she is a prostitute who always comes to Ikare junction in Owo. I shot her after I noticed that she gives other men more attention than me.

“We have been having issues for a while now. That particular day she repeated what I warned her against and I became furious and I shot her. But she did not die. I learnt that she is in hospital.

“I’m not a cultist, and I have never shot anyone in my life. The gun that I used against her belongs to my father who is a hunter. My father do use the gun to hunt and kill animals.”

The Amotekun Commander in the state, Akogun Adetunji Adeleye, revealed that in an effort to sanitize the state of crimes and criminality, the corps arrested suspected armed robbers, kidnappers, and rapists among others.

He reaffirmed that the suspects will be dragged to court after the completion of investigations.
