Couple Shot Dead During Wedding In Delta State: Jilted Lover Killed UK Based Nigerian Man & Wife At Reception
Feb 3rd, 2015 – Couple Shot Dead During Wedding In Delta State: Jilted Lover Killed UK Based Nigerian Man & Wife At Reception
A jilted man caused chaos during a wedding ceremony in Ukala Okpunor, Oshimili North Local Government area of Delta State this past weekend.
The man simply identified as Teddy reportedly stormed the wedding venue of his ex-girlfriend and shot her and her husband dead before going further to shoot sporadically at the guests including the mother of the bride on Saturday the 31st of January 2015.
The trouble started after the couple’s first dance. The bride identified as Stephanie, graduated from one of the top polytechnics in Delta state.
After her graduation, she reportedly walked to her ex-boyfriend, Teddy and told him she is tired of the 8-year courtship that has not lead to the altar. Sources disclosed that her intention was to force him to propose to her but Teddy was taking his time since he just secured a job.
Because of Teddy’s inaction, Stephanie called it quit quietly while Teddy was planning to settle with her.
In December 2014, a UK-based businessman came home looking for a wife and was introduced to Stephanie by her mother.
Desperate to settle down, Stephanie sees the man as God sent and welcomed the idea since virtually all her mates were married.
They started plans to tie the knot as soon as possible without any knowledge of the unforeseen danger ahead.
Unfortunately the couple were shot dead by Teddy who stormed the wedding venue with AK47 riffle halfway into the wedding ceremony.
Teddy is currently in police detention as the family of the deceased couple and wedding guests mourn their loved ones.

It is stephanie’s desperation that killed her even if she wants to get married, why not tell the Uk guy what happened so the 2 can escape before the wedding. It is just too sad

painful but avoidable, desperation can cause anything.
Why didn’t stephanie tell Teddy her mind initially?
Is anything bad in a lady telling a man they should marry

Why do we always blame the victim or the ladies? After 8 years of courtship, she could have still been single today whether of not he secured a job. She broke it off. Is it by force? Should she have gambled by waiting till eternity? Even if he got the job, he could have walked away too. Senseless killing to the unfortunate couple. To the guy who died….olorun ma je ki a kagaba ko o…prayers everyday. From the culture stand point…she no marry…na wahala…she marry late…wahala…she broke it off…wahala…in this case death. RIP TO THE COUPLE…ALL IN THE INVISIBLE CULTURE IMPOSED PRESSURE…GET MARRIED OR DIE TRYING…..BE happy ladies…even if you are by yourself.

The Teddy of a guy should rot in jail or better still, the Nigerian police will kill him in jail and claim he committed suicide. After 8 years of courtship and he never proposed to her, what does he want her to do? keep waiting for his proposal to come which he was not man enough to do even after securing a job? @ Nabuf, I agree with you.

Very sad story. Lack of Temprance, runs in Teddy. As for Stephanie, her mental ryhm is very poor in terms of what she want. All these occur as a result of Impatient and abnormality. Have lenient O God. RIP

Regardless, that doesn’t give Teddy any right to go on killing mission. This is a double murder and he should be ready to take responsibility for his premature action. This idiot Teddy can still secure a very beautiful babe better than Stephie but he deliberately mess his life up. This is uncontest case that carry death sentence let him face the full consequence of uncontrollable emotion period.

What a sad story,well my bible tells me in Romans 6:23 that the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Accept jesus Christ today and have everlasting life. This is a lesson to everyone.

My their soul rest in peace. May their parents find comfort in there hearts during this tragedy. That so called Teddy is a sick man. He should not be killed as well he should face what he did to them all the days of his life.
