Wednesday, October 23, 2024 - The FCT police command has reacted to reports of a 24-year-old young lady, Priscilla Ocheme, who left home to visit her boyfriend and was later found de@d in Abuja.
The family of the deceased reached out to
activist Harrison Gwamnishu with the details of her de@th and sought his help
in finding justice for their loved one. According to their report, late
Priscilla was found de@d after paying a visit to a male friend she attended
Madonna University with, at his home in the Lugbe area of the FCT.
After News of the girls killing made headlines,
the police said the girl wasn't killed by anyone but rather died in a car
accident. The girl's family accused the police of covering up what
actually happened.
In a statement released today October 22,
the spokesperson of the command, SP Josephine Adeh, denied any attempt to cover
up the matter. According to police, the deceased indeed died in an accident
after leaving her male friend's apartment.
‘’The attention of the FCT Police Command
has been drawn to publications circulating on social media concerning the
alleged murder of Miss Priscilla Ocheme by her boyfriend, EKHOSUEHI ISEH ELVIS,
also known as Richard, at his residence in Lugbe.
The suspect
was invited for questioning by operatives of the FCT Police on 24 September
2024. Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect, EKHOSUEHI ISEH
ELVIS, a 30-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 go 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

the public’s understanding as we work diligently to bring clarity to this
situation. Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.''
