Man Murders Pregnant Fiancée And Her 3-Year-Old Daughter Days Before Wedding In Edo

The Edo State Police Command has launched a manhunt for Wealth Nnamdi, who is accused of murdering his pregnant fiancée, Osasu Loveth Isaac, and her three-year-old daughter, Miracle, in Benin City.

The tragic incident took place on March 16, 2025, on Idiangbona Street in Ovbiogoe Community following a heated argument between the couple.

According to neighbors, the pair frequently quarreled, so they did not anticipate that this altercation would escalate into tragedy.

A community source, speaking anonymously, revealed that Nnamdi had been living with Osasu and her daughter from a previous relationship for over three years.

The couple had planned to hold their traditional wedding on March 29, 2025, with a church ceremony set for April 6.

“It is heartbreaking because she was excited about the wedding. She was already pregnant for him, and they had been living together. But on Sunday, they had a serious argument. We didn’t think much of it because they usually fought,” the source said.

“When the argument stopped, we thought they had settled. But after two days, a foul smell started coming from their room. That was when we called the police.”

The command’s spokesperson, CSP Moses Yamu, confirmed the incident, stating that officers from the Ekiadolor Division forced the door open after neighbors reported a disturbing odor.

“The Edo State Police Command has since commenced an investigation into the gruesome m3rder of a woman popularly known as ‘Mama Hallelujah’ and her three-year-old daughter, Miracle,” Yamu stated.

“On March 18, 2025, at about 8:30 pm, the Ekiadolor Division received a report from a concerned neighbour who complained of a strong odour coming from the deceased’s apartment.

“Upon arrival, officers discovered the room locked from the outside. When they forced it open, they found the decomposing bodies of the woman and her daughter. The woman had a deep cut on her head, suspected to have been inflicted with a machete, while the child was found lifeless on the bed.”

Yamu noted that preliminary investigations point to Nnamdi as the prime suspect, as he has been missing since the discovery.
