Terungwa Stephanie, a 26-year-old National Youth Service Corps member, was allegedly died after being exposed to a corrosive material, according to the Federal Capital Territory Commissioner of Police, Sunday Babaji.
On Monday in Abuja, the commissioner revealed this while arraigning three suspects in connection with her death before the FCT Police Command.
Jenifer Tsembe ‘f’, 26, Monday Simon (a.k.a. Black)’m’, 36, and Solomon Abu’m’, 35 are the suspects.

The accused planned to kidnap the victim so Jennifer could have her alleged lover, Edward Achadu, all to herself, according to Babaji.
“Our research indicated that the suspects criminally conspired and murdered the victim in order for Jennifer Tsembe, one of the suspects and Edward Achadu’s estranged lover, to have him all to herself, especially for monetary gains,” he stated.
Tsembe stated that she simply planned to kidnap Jennifer and seek a ransom from Achadu, not to murder her.
She also said that Solomon, one of the other male suspects, was the one who planned the kidnapping.
The other suspects, on the other hand, admitted that Tsembe, who is friends with the dead, devised the plan for the deceased to visit her residence and solicit their assistance in tying her up when she arrived. Tsembe allegedly directed them to leave the suspect, deceased, and her child behind once they had completed their role.
Tsembe had contacted Simon after he had left, saying she needed help with the body since the deceased had died. Black, on the other hand, said that by the time he arrived to the scene, the suspect had already showered her in acid.
Following that, the Police Commissioner stated that the Command has stepped up its investigation in order to uncover data that could lead to the arrest of any other fugitive participants in the illegal act.
“The suspects will face charges in court,” he said. The inquiry has been stepped up by the command in order to uncover information that could lead to the arrest of any additional fugitive participants in the illegal act.
