A boyfriend, Stephen Luka, who got a 29 year old girl, Justina Dusu pregnant has been accused of brutalizing her and killing her sister with a matchete when he was confronted.
Dusu is a resident of Foron, Barkin-Ladi Local Government of Plateau, and is being tried for murder, assault and sexual abuse.
He was alleged to have attacked the two sisters on July 27, 2016 at his home, in Sabon Gari, Tudun Wada, Jos, after they went to confront him over Justina’s pregnancy.She said, “I met Stephen on Dec. 2 2007, while I was still in secondary school. I later left to Abuja, but came back to Jos in May 2016.
“We met on my return and he invited me to his place sometime in June 2016, where he had sex with me. I later realised I was pregnant and called his attention to it; he told me he was not ready to be a father and suggested an abortion which I promptly rejected. I told him I would rather give birth to the baby and give to my parents than have an abortion. On July 25, I told my sister, late Simi Dusu, about the pregnancy and Luka’s idea of an abortion.
“She tried to reach him on phone without success and we decided to go to see him in his house. On July 27, we took a cab to his house, when I sighted him, we alighted and followed him to the house. He didn’t deny the pregnancy, but said that he was not ready to be a father, and that his parents had already chased him out of the house.
“While we were discussing, my sister stepped out to receive a phone but before she returned, he started hitting me on my head. When I started screaming, my sister tried to enter, but he locked the door. She forced the door open and he descended on her with a machete and killed her. He again returned to me and kept hitting me; I only regained consciousness at the Hwolshe Medical Centre, Jos, and received the news that my sister had died.”
