HE BROKE HIS NECK AND SPINAL CORD! 21-year-old lady allegedly throws boyfriend out of storey building window, kills him
A graduate of the University of Benin has died after his girlfriend pushed him out of the window of a storey in Lagos State over phone messages.
Adaugona Esu, 21, was arrested by the Police in Ajangbadi Area of the state for causing the death of her boyfriend, Wilson Henry.
Esu was said to have committed the act while trying to prevent Henry from searching through her phone, Vanguard Newspaper reported.

The Civil Engineering graduate broke his neck and spinal cord when he landed on the fence of the building before resting on the septic tank.
Henry was rushed to Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja where he died three days later.
It was gathered that Esu, who is a hair stylist, was living in a self-contained room with her boyfriend, one Eto, until he travelled outside the country in July 2017.
Neighbours said the deceased began dating his killers soon after, and he would spend days with her in the apartment before leaving.
Tragedy struck on July 13, 2018 after neighbours said they heard the usual banters from the lovers’ apartment, which was followed by a shout of help from the suspect.

On hearing her cry for help, some of the neighbours forced the door open to rescue her. There was, however, an allegation that Roy, one of the male tenants who entered the apartment, assisted Esu to throw Henry out of the window.
The suspect, however, denied she threw Henry out of the window. She alleged that the deceased jumped out of the window himself.
She said,
“He came in drunk that night and wanted to collect my phone to search it but I refused.
As I was struggling the phone with him, he started beating me and I shouted for help. At a point, I could not shout any more. When the door was forced open by neighbours who came to my rescue, Henry ran into the bedroom and jumped out of the window.
I did not push him. If I did, there would have been cracks in the window. He actually jumped out because he was afraid of Roy.”
