HEADLINE: Police Arrest UNN Student Over Alleged Murder of Female Undergraduate in Nsukka

The Enugu State Police Command has arrested a 200-level student of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), over the alleged murder of a female student found dead in a hotel room in Nsukka.

This was disclosed in a statement issued on Monday by the Command's spokesperson, SP Daniel Ndukwe, in Enugu.

According to Ndukwe, an intelligence-driven investigation led to the arrest of 22-year-old Emmanuel Gambo, a second-year student from the Department of Material and Metallurgical Engineering, who hails from Kogi State. He is accused of killing 22-year-old Deborah Sam-Praise Ememem.

Detectives recovered several of Ememem’s personal items, including her iPhone, tablet, earbuds, and other belongings.

Ndukwe revealed that the case, initially reported at the Nsukka Urban Police Division, was later transferred to the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for further investigation.

"Findings indicate that on the night of June 14, 2025, the suspect checked into a hotel in the Obukpa area of Nsukka with the deceased. In the early hours of June 15, following a second round of sexual intercourse, an argument erupted when the deceased allegedly demanded an additional ₦15,000, in addition to ₦5,000 earlier paid. The dispute escalated into violence, and the suspect allegedly strangled her to death,” the statement read.

The police spokesperson added that the suspect wrapped Ememem's body in a towel and curtain from the hotel room, then hid it under the bed. The body was discovered on June 16, 2025, around 9 a.m., after hotel staff perceived a foul odour coming from the room.

Ndukwe noted that the suspect had provided false information—using a fake name and unreachable phone number—on the hotel’s check-in form, which initially hampered investigations.

“However, acting on credible intelligence, detectives tracked the suspect to his lodge in Nsukka, where he was arrested on July 2, 2025,” Ndukwe said.

During interrogation, Gambo reportedly confessed to the crime. The police recovered Ememem’s iPhone and a bottle of red wine she had brought to the hotel. The suspect also led officers to retrieve her tablet and earbuds, which he had thrown out of the hotel window in a bag after the murder.

The Commissioner of Police in Enugu State, Mr. Mamman Giwa, commended the officers for their swift and effective action. He reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to justice, public safety, and upholding the rule of law.

He also urged parents and guardians to monitor their children more closely and warned young people against engaging in harmful behaviours and negative peer influences.
