Two siblings have been arrested for the roles they played in the death of a missing makeup artist.
The death of Ijeoma Neke, the missing artist last November, shook social media when it was reported that she left home on Nov 11, 2020, for a makeup job and wasn’t seen again.
The alert of the missing artist circulated Twitter as users begged for help in finding her.
In response to the request, Twitter users explained that Ijeoma had requested to know the venue where she was to do the makeup job but was simply instructed to meet the prospective client at a bus stop.
Her body was later found and it was claimed she had been doused with acid.
Twitter users called for justice for Ijeoma and it appears that is about to be served as a sister and her brother have been arrested and charged with her death case.
The siblings identified as Ifezue Chiamaka and Ifezue Emeka were on Wednesday, Feb 3, arraigned at Enugu State Magistrate Court for the murder of makeup artist, Ijeoma Nweke.
According to reports, Chiamaka conspired with her brother to kill Ijeoma for allegedly having an affair with her boyfriend.
Chiamaka allegedly lured Ijeoma by inviting her for a makeup job.
On getting there and suspecting foul play, Ijeoma quickly sent a message to a friend, before being forced to drink a poisoned substance.
The two siblings then allegedly poured acid on Ijeoma.
An eye witness who was present in the court said he saw Emeka Ifezue pour acid on the body of Ijeoma after they dumped her corpse at the Maryland axis of Enugu Metropolis.
Also present in court was the boyfriend who was willing to testify against the two siblings.
The case was adjoined to February 24, 2021.
