A woman and her brother have been arraigned for allegedly conspiring to kill a makeup artiste allegedly having an affair with the woman’s boyfriend.
On November 11, 2020, a makeup artiste named Ijeoma Nweke went missing after she left home for a makeup job.
Twitter users explained that she had requested to know the venue where she was to do the makeup job but was simply instructed to meet the prospective client at a bus stop.
Her body was later found doused with acid.
Friends called for #JusticeforIjeoma on Twitter and it appears that is about to be served as a sister and her brother have been arrested and charged with her death.
The siblings identified as Ifezue Chiamaka and Ifezue Emeka were on Wednesday, February 3, 2021, arraigned at Enugu State Magistrate Court for the murder of makeup artist, Ijeoma Nweke.
According to the reports, Chiamaka conspired with her brother to kill Nweke for allegedly having an affair with her boyfriend.
Chiamaka allegedly lured the deceased by inviting her for a makeup job.
On getting there and suspecting foul play, the makeup artiste quickly sent a message to a friend, before being forced to drink a poisoned substance.
The two siblings then allegedly poured acid on the victim.
An eye witness who was present in the court said he saw Emeka Ifezue pour acid on the body of Ijeoma after they dumped her corpse at the Maryland axis of Enugu Metropolis.
Also present in court was the boyfriend who was willing to testify against the two siblings.
The case was adjoined to February 24, 2021.
