The Delta State Police Command is currently investigating the role of an evil spirit in the murder of Felicia Akpomeria by the former Vice Chairman of Okolor Inland community, Udu Local Government Area, Delta State, Austin Ejovwo.
However, the former Local Government Area number two boss has been apprehended, for murdering his lover, Felicia although he insists it was precipitated by an evil spirit.
Meanwhile, the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bright Edafe has said the suspect will soon be charged to court.
Information from family sources revealed that Ejovwo escaped to Ologbo bush to meet a relative after committing the crime.
Felicia was found dead with matchet cuts last Friday in her lover’s bedroom in the pool of her own blood.
Felicia’s relative, Godwin Laya revealed that: “He admitted the killing of my sister, Felicia, he said it was something that enter his eyes to kill her. He accused his mother of bewitching him.
“I think the killer is diverting attention from his real motives for killing our sister. He did acknowledge at Ovwian Police Division where he was first detained that he was owing our sister.
“For us, he wasn’t pushed by any spirit. We hear he had committed an earlier murder. He belongs to the occultic. He either killed our sister for rituals or he killed her to evade refund of the money he was owing her.
“He ran to his sister’s place where they produce palm oil and with his behaviour, the sister wanted to bring him back to the village before she was called from the village that her brother killed a woman.
“It was his sister that took him to Ovwain police station after she was informed. If they had called us before taking him to the police station, if he was brought to us, we would have retaliated our sister’s death because we are angry.
“The government should ensure that justice is served on the suspect.
“The man is a suspected ritualist, because our sister was found near a shrine inside the house, though I was not allowed to see the corpse of my sister at the mortuary by the police.”
Over the years, people have blamed satan and his evil spirits for crimes. Whether he and his goons are involved in this matter remains to be seen.
