DEATH OF PRISCILLA OCHEME: POLICE COMMITTED TO THOROUGH, UNBIASED INVESTIGATION.

As IGP Orders SIU to Take Over Case.

The Nigeria Police Force reaffirms its commitment to the thorough investigation of the recent tragic case involving the death of Priscilla Ocheme, a young woman who went missing after visiting her boyfriend, one Ekhousuehi Elvis, at his home in Goshen Estate, Pyakasa, FCT, on September 22, 2024.

Priscilla’s lifeless body was subsequently discovered, raising significant concerns. The case was promptly reported to the office of the Assistant Inspector-General Zone 7 Abuja, and Elvis, as a primary suspect, was invited to provide his account of the events leading to Priscilla’s sudden disappearance.

However, instead of reporting as requested, Elvis proceeded to another police formation in Lagos State to file a counter-petition. In light of this development, and to maintain clarity and avoid duplication in the ongoing investigations, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM., has ordered the IGP-Special Investigation Unit to take over the case, ensuring that it receives the attention and sensitivity it requires.

The primary suspect in the investigation, Ekhousuehi Elvis, and other suspects arrested in connection with the case are presently in the police custody where they are being interrogated. It is important to clarify that contrary to the rumours that have been circulating, Elvis or any of the suspects is not experiencing any form of mistreatment. The IGP emphasizes the importance of justice and thoroughness in this investigation. The Special Investigation Unit is equipped to handle cases of this nature and will investigate thoroughly to uncover the truth.

The Nigeria Police Force reassures the public of its commitment to transparency and diligence throughout the process. As investigations progress, we urge members of the public to disregard any form of calumny. Anyone with relevant information is hereby urged to come forward and assist the Police in ensuring Justice for Priscilla Ocheme and her family.

NOTABLE HAZARD AND URGENT NEED TO AVERT DANGER

The attached pictures show the section of Imo River bridge close to IMSU college of Engineering, along the ever busy Owerri-Okigwe Road in Umuna, Onuimo LGA of Imo State.

A look at it shows that the rails indicating that it’s a bridge has pulled out and it’s completely open which exposes motorists to falling into the Imo River which is very deep above ground level, in the event of any error in driving or loss of control.

Ekwutosblog gathered that the rail of the bridge was knocked down by a heavy duty vehicle which ran into the River months back but nothing has been done about the situation since then.
