Reacting to the publications making the rounds on social media with regards to the alleged murder of Miss Priscilla Ocheme by her boyfriend, Ekhosuehi Iseh Elvis also known as Richard, at his residence in Lugbe, the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Police Command has revealed its Preliminary results of its investigation into the alleged murder.
According to a press release signed by the Command’s Spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, the suspect was invited for questioning by operatives of the FCT Police on 24 September 2024, and that preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect, EKHOSUEHI ISEH ELVIS, a 30-year old man from Oredo-Benin in Edo State, met the now-deceased Priscilla at Madonna University.
“He lost contact with her when he left the university until 2019 when he came to the FCT for his Youth Service.
“He was a well-known family friend who frequently visited the deceased at her family home, just as she visited his. On 22 September 2024, she had a minor misunderstanding with her mother, which led her to leave her family home in the Karu area and went to EKHOSUEHI’s residence to cool off.
“She eventually left his residence later that evening and was on her way home when she was involved in a fatal motor cycle accident at the Amala Moore junction in Pyakasa.
“The accident was witnessed by two laborers, Jerry Amos and Moses Bala, who were working nearby at a brick-producing factory. They rushed her to Pyakasa Health Centre for medical attention, after which she was referred to the Federal Medical Centre Jabi, accompanied by two police detectives. Upon arrival at the medical center, she was confirmed dead by the doctor on duty.
“The FCT Police Command prides itself on its professionalism and integrity in investigative processes and would never malign its name with unethical practices or any actions that compromise the trust of the public it serves. The safety and justice for victims remain our top priority, and we are committed to ensuring a comprehensive and fair investigation.
“We ask for the public’s understanding as we work diligently to bring clarity to this situation. Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses”, the statement read.
