launched a manhunt for the killer of the teenager, Favour, who hails from
Ughere in Abraka.
The police said it was a murder case and that investigation

requesting that she should come and meet him at Abraka park but she replied
that she was going to the market with her elder sister.
Maureen said on their way out of their residence at Winners
Road, a male which she has never seen before (but believes was the same person
that called earlier), had a short conversation with her sister and thereafter,
she (Favour) joined him on a bike and they both zoomed off, as she warned her
to return home early enough.
She then expressed shock to find out the following day that
her sister, who did not return home that day, was found dead and tied with
ropes in a sack.
Maureen said she can identify the suspect if she comes
across him.
When contacted, the Delta State Commissioner of Police, CP
Adeyinka Adeleke confirmed the report.
He explained that it is a case of murder and not ritual
killing as was being speculated by some persons.
According to the police commissioner, “The lady in question
was with the sister and she had a call. When she wanted to leave, she told her
sister that it’s her boyfriend that she want to go and see; that he called.
“After some time, she disappeared they did not see her. the
next day they saw her body tied in a sack in a plantain/ banana plantation.
“And her boyfriend ran away. So, it is not a ritual but a
murder case. The physical sign on her body shows in the neck that she was
strangulated. Maybe that she was possibly strangled to dead because the neck
shows. Maybe, somebody tempered with her neck and throw her body into the bush
and now the boyfriend disappeared till now.
“He is on the run. if he had nothing to do with that why did
he disappeared? Why is he on the run and that is exactly what happened not
ritual killing but a case of murder. Her body has been taken to the mortuary.”
