Rights activists and family members are demanding a thorough investigation after Deborah Moses, a young interior designer who just finished her National Youth Service (NYSC), was brutally murdered in her home.
The call for justice and an insistence that the case must not be swept under the carpet came after Deborah, popularly known as Deb’rah Porsche, was reported killed by her estranged boyfriend in her home in Lagos on Wednesday night.
The suspect, identified as Lintex, a native of Otukpo in Benue State, allegedly disguised himself as a dispatch rider to gain entry into the estate where Deborah lived.
When estate security raised suspicions, he reportedly scaled the fence and forced his way into her compound.
According to witnesses, Lintex first attempted to trigger an explosion by tampering with Deborah Moses’ cooking gas pipe outside her apartment.
When that failed, he allegedly broke into her residence and stabbed her multiple times, leaving her lifeless.
Family sources said that Deborah Moses had ended the relationship over a year ago, but continued to face threats from the suspect.
“He used to say, ‘If I don’t have you, nobody will. If I don’t marry you, blood will flow,” a grieving relative disclosed.
Deborah, who had just completed her NYSC and was slowly building her career, had reportedly been avoiding unwanted calls and advances from him before her tragic death.
Neighbours overpowered the suspect after the attack and handed him over to the police.
