The boyfriend, an indigene of the town, allegedly murdered Joy on Tuesday and fled, taking with him cash from her POS business.
Neighbors discovered her body after a foul odor prompted them to alert authorities.
During protests, students called for state intervention, chanting demands for justice and safety.
