Could This Tragedy Have Been Prevented?
The Enugu State Police Command has arrested 51-year-old Emeka Emmanuel Nwangwu for the gruesome murder of his 19-year-old maternal cousin, Loveth Uloma Nwangwu. The arrest, confirmed by Police Public Relations Officer SP Daniel Ndukwe, followed swift action by operatives of the Nsukka Urban Division with support from the Neighbourhood Watch Group on December 1, 2025. The case has drawn intense public outrage due to the disturbing circumstances surrounding Loveth’s death.

Her bravery in speaking out has now intensified concerns over whether proper protective measures were taken to prevent further harm.
