Abuja Banker, Victoria Johnson killed by husband over money

A little over a month after she got married, Victoria Johnson, a staff of a savings and loans bank in Abuja was murdered by a man she had only been married to for just a month.

According to what late Victoria's sister told the police, Victoria had collected money from a customer from the bank meant to be deposited in her bank, but her taxi driver husband, who was at the time her boyfriend, asked to borrow the money. She gave it to him. Many months after he borrowed it, he refused to pay back, giving one excuse or the other.


Eventually they had their traditional marriage and just four weeks after that and four weeks before their white wedding, Victoria was found dead in the home the couple shared in New Karu.

Her husband, who had initially tried to escape after the killing, claimed that her death had been an accident. He said they had been arguing about the money once again, and she had threatened to report the case to her bank. In anger he hit, she collapsed and he ran from their home after he realized she was dead.

He's currently at the Keffi Prisons while police continue with their investigations.

This is pathetic. Just four weeks. Women should be careful the kind of man they say yes to. Attitude is the best quality you can find in a man. This is your life union ƒor God sake. Once a man yell at you, just break the relationship off. You can tell or text him later. Don't risk anything maybe he is going to change. You might even create a scene to intentionally test him. Even if he is begging you and αll that, teach him the lesson of his life until you feel positive about him. RIP victoria.

how much is the money? maybe the lady was so desperate to get a husband, that's why she gave the taxi driver then bf the money, cos he would have threatened to leave her, cos she doesnt trust him...ladies are so gullible and the hype about marriage is not worth it, with all these irresponsible men hanging around.

The husband is a betrayal, he should be dealt with, he who kill by sword must die by sword.

Another case of abuse. Ladies, do not stay in a marriage that makes you a victim of abuse, do not cover it up.....speak out @ the first sign of abuse (Been slapped or beaten or even cursed by your man is called abuse o). They say one word is enough. And to all the men constantly abusing women.....have it in mind that your next bus stop is "Life in Prisonment of Death by Hanging".

Just imagine! Nigerian police can 'investigate' ehn! This is a clear cut case.. He has admitted it! What the hell are they still investigating? This is the new trend now abi? Men killing their girlfriends and wives anyhow.. Smh! If only capital punishment was still carried out in this country.. All these killer pigs should have been sent to the electric chair or gas chamber. But as it is.. I hope he's jailed for life.. And then while he's in jail, gets raped by some of those gay inmates on a daily basis... Hehehehehe!

1. Women and men without any handwork?? Or of lower status, does it work when the men are insecure?

2. Why would a man with his correct brains hit a lady?

3. POLICE! Police and their investigations, let's wait and see

Unknown said...

Some ladies sef. You saw all these red flags and still went ahead to marry this man. Comeoooo, is it a crime to be single and happy than be married and killed? Ladies, what the hike is going on?

Let me pray that God should 4give me if what am abt 2 sy is a sin,,,
ok, I just can understand what on earth could make a banker (if she's truly one) marry a taxi driver.
And even if they eventually cross each other's path n eventually got married, Y one earth should U give banks money to ur hubby? Does been in love make someone looses his/her brain?

my heart is just broken after going through this write up. women are going through alot in the name of marriage. we are scared of stigmatization. We do not speak up because we dont want to be called divorsees, we dont want to be blamed for the break up of our marriages but women, the earlier we realise that there is more to life than marriage, the better for us.
We have to live for ourselves, for our parents and siblings, these people genuinely love and care for us and if we have children out of the failed relationship, we will cherish them and thank God. We can only be there for them when we say no to abuse and run far away from these guys before its too late.
LADIES ITS ONLY ONE LIFE WE HAVE.

work hard and care for your self, look good and have fun.
one love my people.

little wonder why nigeria is the way it is today. did u see igbo or yoruba anywhere and even if he is igbo or yoruba so freaking what? geez linda your blog readers are illiterates! @devour how sure r u dat the woman sleeps around. some people can be so quick to judge just from reading a 300 word article. nawa ooo no wonder d bible says the love of money is d root of all evil, hmmn let this wife killing thing not become a habit in nigeria oo. ah warris dis naw?

bhee said...

maggie shd be writing her own script. sounds just like another nollywood story to me....sigh
y do nigerians find it so easy to pass blame or judgement like they were there when it happened.
always look at another point of view!!!!!!
for all u know, she dated him, he graduated, no job (like many nigerian graduates), he decided to use taxi to bring him income (as a determined person)....saw money chance to grow and talked her into it.

but i must say, nothing shd make you treat ur job like that. it was never her money to give out.

but ppl, stop all this banker marry taxi driver story.

Is this the whole story? May her soul rest in peace.
Why didn't the customer go to the bank to pay in his or here money?

It needs to be investigated to dot all the I's and cross the T's

If he killed her, they should can his a...s

@anon 3:45 don't be stupid. How can you tell someone's tribe from the crime they commit. Any person from any tribe, even from another country could have done something similar. When Nigerians are supposed to be united, idiots like you cause problems.

Y r some people so tribalistic!some 1 was murdered,y judge others basedon this killer,anyman can be jealous,insecured and inflict domestic violence and get away,and believe me,this is not the 1st he would hav hit her,am sure he manipulated her into giving him the money to prove her love in the 1st place,its not about men in a particular tribal group!!!No,its not! Its about Nigerian me remembering where the son of whom they are and stop dehumanising women,so many go through pains that tears can't cry

kwame said...

This is so unfortunate. How could a banker give out customer's money to her hubby? She is xo unreasonable and unfair to her customer. I prayed for her that the Almighty God to forgive the the law of Federal republic of Nigeria should catch up with the deceased hubby. He is a murder and a thief.

It is quite obvious that he only married this lady to get close to money. Only one month of marriage and he kills her over money, what more do we need to know. Loser man.

Any time a woman dies in the hand of a man, all u losers (unmarried old women) will start condemning men and marriages. Cases were ladies killing their husband....no body talk about it, remember killing is killing whether it is a man or a woman. Pls all you losers with bad attitude... shut de f*k up and look for gud guys to marry u and make your marriage work.......stop complaining

I HAD TO SCROLL UP TO SEE WHERE THEY MENTIONED THAT THE HUSBAND IS AN IGBO MAN BUT COULDNT SEE. THE WOMAN NAME SEF NOBODY CAN TELL WHERE SHE COME FROM COS ALL HER NAME NA ENGLISH. THE LAST TIME I CHECKED IT WAS A YORUBA MAN THAT KILLED HIS BANKER WIFE SO I DONT KNOW WHAT THIS COMMENT ABOUT IGBO MEN AND MONEY HAS TO DO WITH THE ARTICLE. GBENGA THE EVER LOW SELF ESTEEM GUY. MAY GOD HELP YOU TO BE INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO COMMENT BASED ON THE ISSUE ON GROUND AND STOP EXHIBITING YOUR JEALOUSY FOR THE IGBO TRIBE.

@anon 12.37am jan 26.. Read your comment again.. I'm sure even your ass must be jealous of the shit that came out of your mouth! So it's only "old unmarried women" that condemned this bloody act abi? And as for women killing their husbands, how many of such cases have you heard of recent? Now compare that to the number of women that have been killed within the span of three months by stupid and jealous apes calling themselves men! Yeah.. I know you've done the math! Please allow people to vent their anger jare.. And keep your outstanding stupidity to yourself! Rubbish! Come get me if you dare! •sharpening my claws•
