A beautiful, promising and intelligent Nigerian woman killed in the US



I really get upset when I hear these sort of stories. Here's a beautiful, 26 year old lady studying for her PHD in Electrical Engineering. I can imagine the obstacles she had to overcome to get to where she did. In a world where female engineers are a minority here's a great example cut off in her prime.

Her name was Adaobi Michaella Obih. Her body was was found  at an apartment at Riverstone Apartments in Columbus, Indiana and is being investigated as a homicide. 36 year old Ryan Allen Klug, is a person of interest in the case. Ryan also lived in the apartment complex but has gone missing since Adaobi’s body was found.
According to therepublic.com

 'The roommate of a 26-year-old native of Nigeria living in a westside Columbus apartment complex has been charged with felony murder.Ryan A. Klug, 36, of 3461 Limestone Lane, Apt. 2134, is the prime suspect in the death of his roommate, Adaobi M. Obih, who suffered multiple knife wounds, according to a probable-cause affidavit.

Obih's boyfriend, Jude Osara, last communicated with her on Sunday afternoon, and then was unable to get text-message replies after that time, the affidavit said.
The woman's throat was cut, the charging document said, and blood-saturated clothes the same size as Klug wears were found in their two-bedroom apartment.

A warrant for Klug's arrest was signed earlier today, and Columbus police have reason to believe he may be in Ohio.'

Adaobi was the first of two children and was already pursuing her PHD in Electrical Engineering at just 26 years old, she is from Nigerian parents.
Rest In Peace Adaobi Obih. You lived a short life but you represented us well. May the long arm of Justice catch up with your killer.  Latest news is Klug has been officially charged.

Her friends are getting together to try set up a Memorial Schorlarship at LSU's School of Engineering, for more info check adobischolarshipfund
