A young man identified as Emmanuel from Ebonyi State has reportedly confessed to killing his former girlfriend, Umuora Mmesoma, after she ended their relationship.

According to a report by SaharaReporters published on Friday, October 23, 2026, the suspect was questioned by security operatives following his arrest.

Mmesoma, a native of Uga in Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State, was reported missing on October 16, 2026.

Her body was later discovered inside a bag in Uga on October 23, the report said.

In a video circulating on social media, the suspect allegedly admitted to killing Mmesoma because she had ended their relationship.

“I killed her because she broke up with me. I killed her in my house in Uga, put her inside a bag and dumped her somewhere,” he reportedly said during questioning.

The circumstances surrounding the alleged killing, including the events leading up to Mmesoma’s death and how her body was discovered, were not fully detailed in the report.

The suspect’s reported confession has not, by itself, established guilt in court.

SaharaReporters said it contacted the Anambra State Police Command for comment, but the command’s Police Public Relations Officer had not responded to a message sent before publication.

Further details about the investigation and any planned court proceedings were not available in the report.

The killing has reportedly triggered outrage among residents and social media users, with calls for a thorough investigation and prosecution of the suspect.

The case has also drawn attention to the dangers of violence against former partners following the breakdown of relationships.

Authorities are expected to establish the full circumstances of Mmesoma’s death as the investigation proceeds.
