Old tweets shared by Lintex Ogale, the man who murdered his ex-girlfriend in Lagos, are receiving attention after news of his actions spread.

Lintex Ogale, from Benue State, is accused of killing Deborah Moses, an interior decorator, at her home in Lagos after refusing to move on one year after their break up.

He reportedly disguised as a dispatch rider to gain access into Deborah’s estate. He is also alleged to have cut her gas pipe, hoping that she would experience a gas explosion, according to allegations.

When that failed, he is alleged to have gone into Deborah’s house where he stabbed her to death.

According to Deborah’s sister, Ogale refused to more on more than a year after Deborah ended the relationship due to violence on his part.

Before he stabbed her, Ogale allegedly said “if I can’t have you, no man would”.

After the report of the Ogale’s arrest went viral, Nigerians began sharing old tweets he made months ago.

In one, he wrote: “na who know person go kill am normal”.

Another tweet shows him reacting to the interview gospel singer Timileyin Ajayi granted in January 2025 after he was caught with the severed head of a female corps member, Salome Adaidu.

At the time, Timileyin, who has now been sentenced to de@th, claimed that Salome was his girlfriend and she cheated on him which is why he k!lled her.

Reacting, Ogale wrote at the time: “The guy na just mumu. If everybody start kpai women base on cheating,I’m not sure 10% of them will be left.”
