According to an eye witness, Cynthia, who is eight months pregnant, and the deceased, Sunny, both hail from Emohua Local Government Area. Sunny had arrived unannounced at Cynthia’s residence after being absent for over six months following her pregnancy.

Cynthia had left her door open to quickly buy some items, only to return and find Sunny lying on her bed. An argument reportedly ensued over his unexpected visit. Shortly after, Cynthia allegedly stepped out, returned with petrol, and waited until Sunny fell asleep before dousing him and the bed with fuel and setting them on fire.

Spokesperson for the State Police Command, Grace Iringe-Koko, confirmed the incident in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.

The statement reads,

“The Rivers State Police Command is aware of and deeply concerned about a circulating social media report depicting a fire incident that occurred at No. 11B Okoro Street, Choba, Port Harcourt.

“According to the report, one Cynthia Chukwundah, a 300-level female undergraduate student of the University of Port Harcourt, allegedly set her boyfriend, one Saint Sunny Amadi, a 32-year-old male from the Elibrada Community in Emohua LGA, ablaze in a room, resulting in severe injuries during the inferno.

“He was rushed to the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH) for medical treatment.
Upon receiving the report at about 1112 hours, Police detectives from the Choba Division promptly visited the scene and the victim at the hospital, who was in critical condition. Unfortunately, the victim later succumbed to injuries and died while on admission.”
