A man suspected to be a ‘Yahoo boy’ has been apprehended while trying to slaughter his girlfriend for money rituals in Bayelsa State.
The young man was caught along SETRACO Road, Amassoma/Ogobiri axis of the state on Tuesday morning, September 21.
The girl, said to be a student of the Niger Delta University Wilberforce Island (NDU), was fortunately rescued by youths of Ogobiri community and police operatives.
According to a post by Kokobaiye Abeki, the Special Adviser to Governor Diri on New Media, the suspect who has been dating the girl, lured her to Setraco Road along Ogobiri-Toruebeni drive.
He had successfully tied the hapless lady and was trying to slaughter her when youths in the neighbourhood burst in to rescue her.
The Ogobiri Youths were said to have found his movement suspicious and traced him to the scene of the incident where they heard the cries of the lady he was trying to kill.
The youths descended on the callous boyfriend and handed him over to the men of the Operation Doo-Akpo NPF special squad, according to Abeki.
The Nigeria Police is investigating the matter.
