Man Murders Pregnant Fiancée and Her 3-Year-Old Daughter Days Before Their Wedding in Edo

The Edo State Police Command has launched a manhunt for a man identified as Wealth Nnamdi, who allegedly k!lled his pregnant fiance, Osasu Loveth Isaac, and her three-year-old daughter, Miracle, in Benin City. The incident occurred on Idiangbona Street in Ovbiogoe Community following a heated argument between the couple on March 16, 2025. Neighbours said they were used to their frequent quarrels so did not suspect the altercation would end in tragedy.  A source in the community, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the couple had been together for over three years after Nnamdi moved in with Osasu and her daughter from a previous relationship. Their traditional wedding had been fixed for March 29, 2025 while the church ceremony was scheduled for April 6.  It is heartbreaking because she was excited about the wedding. She was already pregnant for him, and they had been living together. But on Sunday, they had a serious argument. We didnt think much of it because they usually fought, the source said. “When the argument stopped, we thought they had settled. But after two days, a foul smell started coming from their room. That was when we called the police. Spokesperson of the command, CSP Moses Yamu, who confirmed the incident said officers from the Ekiadolor Division forced the door open after neighbours reported a disturbing odour. “The Edo State Police Command has since commenced an investigation into the gruesome m3rder of a woman popularly known as Mama Hallelujah and her three-year-old daughter, Miracle, Yamu stated. “On March 18, 2025, at about 8:30 pm, the Ekiadolor Division received a report from a concerned neighbour who complained of a strong odour coming from the deceaseds apartment. Upon arrival, officers discovered the room locked from the outside. When they forced it open, they found the decomposing bodies of the woman and her daughter. The woman had a deep cut on her head, suspected to have been inflicted with a machete, while the child was found lifeless on the bed. Yamu noted that preliminary investigations point to Nnamdi as the prime suspect, as he has been missing since the discovery. “The suspect has gone into hiding, and the command is making all efforts to track him down and bring him to justice, he added.    The post Man k!lls his pregnant fiance and her 3-year-old daughter days to their wedding in Edo appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
