Origbose was said to be reluctant in eating the meal, claiming that it was too hot when Ojuola queried him for shunning her food, which led to an argument resulting in a fight.
A witness who narrated what led to the murder of the victim said:
“During the argument, the man started beating the girl. She rushed to the kitchen and emerged with a knife with which she injured her fiancé.
The man afterward went to a nearby store, where he bought a brand new knife which he allegedly used to stab her on the breast and in the stomach.”
It was further gathered that a Professor in the university who heard the cry from the house, rushed Ojuola and Origbose to a hospital where she was confirmed dead.
The suspect who was still on admission, was under heavy security before he was later released to the police due to a crowd of students who had gathered around the hospital demanding that he should be released to them.
