Priscilla Ocheme: Police open up on alleged death of lady in boy friend’s house

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has addressed claims circulating on social media, clarifying that investigations are ongoing into the alleged murder of Miss Priscilla Ocheme by her boyfriend, Ekosuehi Iseh Elvis, also known as Richard, at his residence in Lugbe, Abuja.

In a statement regarding the rumors and allegations of a potential cover-up, the police confirmed that the suspect, Ekosuehi Iseh Elvis, was invited for questioning on September 24, 2024.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the 30-year-old suspect, a native of Oredo in Benin, Edo State, reconnected with Priscilla, whom he had met at Madonna University, after losing contact with her in 2019.

According to the police, on September 22, 2024, following a minor disagreement with her mother, Priscilla left her family home in Karu and went to Ekosuehi’s residence to cool off. She departed later that evening but tragically became involved in a fatal motorcycle accident at the Amala Moore junction in Pyakasa on her way home.

Two laborers, Jerry Amos and Moses Bala, witnessed the accident and rushed her to the Pyakasa Health Centre. She was subsequently referred to the Federal Medical Centre in Jabi, where she was pronounced dead by the attending doctor.

The police have refuted claims of foul play, asserting their professionalism and commitment to justice.

“The FCT Police Command prides itself on its professionalism and integrity in investigative processes and would never compromise public trust with unethical practices,” the statement read.

The Command reassured the public that a thorough and transparent investigation is underway and promised to provide further updates as the inquiry progresses.
