Nigerians Call For Justice Over Murder Of Make-Up Artist, Ijeoma By Two Siblings In Enugu

Two siblings Ifezue Chiamaka and Ifezue Emeka have been arraigned in an Enugu court over their involvement in the death of a makeup artist, Ijeoma Nweke.

Nweke had been declared missing in November 2020 after she left home for a home service make-up job and didn’t return.

Her lifeless body which was doused with acid was however found on Wednesday 11th, 2020.

The siblings were on Wednesday, Feb 3, arraigned at Enugu State Magistrate Court for Ijeoma’s murder.

According to reports, Chiamaka conspired with her brother to kill Ijeoma for allegedly having an affair with her boyfriend.

Chiamaka allegedly lured Ijeoma by inviting her for a makeup job.

On getting there and suspecting foul play, Ijeoma quickly sent a message to a friend, before being forced to drink a poisoned substance.

The two siblings then allegedly poured acid on Ijeoma.

An eye witness who was present in the court said he saw Emeka Ifezue pour acid on the body of Ijeoma after they dumped her corpse at the Maryland axis of Enugu Metropolis.

Also present in court was the boyfriend who was willing to testify against the two siblings. The case was adjoined to February 24, 2021.

Nigerians have been reacting to the horrendous act as they ask that Justice be served for Ijeoma.

Just look at how such a beautiful girl went from this to that?

I really feel so sad for the family of Ijeoma at a time like this. Those siblings that did this to her should rot in jail. She doesn’t deserve this #JusticeForIjeoma pic.twitter.com/j9ZDZeVf5X

This Ijeoma story just shattered my heart a million times.

How can a man help his sister kill another woman (Ijeoma) just because she’s dating his sister’s boyfriend? Why didn’t he talk the sister out of such evil? This is painful. ?#JusticeForIjeoma pic.twitter.com/9vOnFQRuyM

#JusticeForIjeoma , now, we haven’t seen the boyfriend sef.

If this other lady goes to prison now or is sentenced to death, the guy continues with his life.

See en, anything that happens, always learn to move on. Fighting over a man/ a woman or the likes doesn’t worth it.

Seeing the video of Ijeoma’s wailing brings me close to tears and the unfortunate incident from the report is that she was killed by two siblings (a brother and a SISTER)… I pray Ijeoma Rest in peace and most especially that God comforts the mother. #justiceforijeoma

I’m utterly broken by the story of how Makeup Artist, Ijeoma Nweke was murdered by siblings, Ifezue Chiamaka & Ifezue Emeka in Enugu State.

This must not be swept under the carpet like we have witnessed in d past.

Nothing in this world would matter except for #JusticeForIjeoma
