IMSU Alumni Association, Europe Condemns Gruesome Murder Of Chinyere Ogudoro

The Imo State university Alumni Association EUROPE chapter has condemned in its strongest possible terms the gruesome murder of her Public Relations Officer Mrs. Chinyere Magella Ogudoro by her husband who allegedly set her ablaze at Lagos State during her visitation to Nigeria.

This was contained in a press release signed by the chapter chairman Hon. Nnamdi Iyioku and made available to newsmen in the state.

According to the release, the chapter is calling on the Nigerian authority to do everything within her disposal to speedily bring the perpetrator of this dastardly act to justice.

“There is nothing more to this story than to seek for justice. She is gone but left behind children abroad who are now without parents basically. She belonged to many social groups and association of which IMSU ALUMNI EUROPE CHAPTER is one. She doubled as the Hon. Public Relations Officer of the noble association and served diligently before her gruesome demise” the release read in part.

The release, continued that, the Late Mrs Chinyere has not only been denied her right to live but dignity in death as she would not have chosen to die in such dastardly manner and charred remains on a truck.

The children denied the joy of motherhood and heartbreak for her immediate family, friends who loved her so much and expected to pay her back . All are now suddenly wishful thinking. This will haunt them till the rest of their lives. What a world!

As a chapter, we strongly condemn this and all forms of domestic violence against women and will be here for her to ensure this is not swept under the carpet. She was a blessed soul and deserve nothing but ensuring that the perpetrator will not go unpunished. This will also serve as a deterrent to other hidden evil souls from hell who see women as birds of passage and thing to toil with.

Meanwhile as of the time of press, the Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 50-year-old man, Benjamin Ogudoro, who allegedly set his wife, Chinyere, and his brother-in-law, Ifeanyin Edoziem, on fire at their apartment on House 5 Oteyi community, Abule-Ado, in Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos, at the early hours of Friday.

Forty-six years old Chinyere, who just returned from Scotland the same day, died on the spot while her brother died moments after reaching the hospital.

It was gathered that the couple had a marital crisis whose cause was unknown.
