Homicide detectives in the FCT Police Command have exonerated one Ekhosuehi Iseh Elvis from murder allegations made against him.
Elvis was accused of killing his girlfriend, Priscilla Ocheme, at his home in Lugbe, Abuja.
However, the command revealed that after a thorough investigation, it was discovered that the late Priscilla died in a ghastly motor accident.
Providing a detailed report on the situation, the spokesperson of the command, SP Josephine Adeh, noted that the attention of the FCT Police Command was drawn to publications circulating on social media alleging that Miss Priscilla Ocheme was murdered by her boyfriend, Elvis, also known as Richard, at his residence in Lugbe.
“The suspect was invited for questioning by operatives of the FCT Police on September 24, 2024. Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect, 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 after leaving 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 September 22, 2024, she had a minor misunderstanding with her mother, which led her to leave her family home in the Karu area and go to Elvis’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 motorcycle accident at the Amala Moore junction in Pyakasa.
“The accident was witnessed by two labourers, 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 centre, she was confirmed dead by the doctor on duty. The FCT Police Command prides itself on professionalism and integrity in investigative processes and would never tarnish its reputation with unethical practices or actions that compromise public trust.
“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,” Adeh said.
