The 24-year-old Matilda was stabbed several times in the neck and head by her assailant(s) at her private apartment outside the university campus. The killers were said to have broken into her room in the early hours of Tuesday and allegedly raped her before snuffing life out of her.

The incident, according to sources, forced some of her course mates to shun classes when they got wind of the incident. Confirming the arrest of the suspect, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Nnamdi Omoni, explained that he was apprehended for interrogation in connection with Matilda’s murder.

The father of the deceased, Mr Ebikene Itonyo, told Punch that he rushed to the state CID when he learnt that a suspect had been arrested. Ebikene called on the police not to relent in their efforts to fish out the killers of his daughter and bring them to justice.
