We sat together in school. She was a decent girl. Elo was not wayward,\u201d she wrote.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Elozino, a student of Delta State University, was reportedly lured to her death while searching for accommodation in Abraka. According to her friend, a security operative identified as Onoriode, also known as Onos, allegedly offered to help her secure housing but instead led her into a deadly trap.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cShe only went to look for a house to rent,\u201d Omojevwe lamented. \u201cThat was how he lured her.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The suspects, said to include internet fraudsters and accomplices, allegedly abducted Elozino within the school environment, overpowered her, and drove her to a remote location where the crime was carried out.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cThey planned it. They waited for her inside the school\u2026 overpowered her and took her away,\u201d she said.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In one of the most disturbing parts of her account, Omojevwe alleged that Elozino was subjected to horrific violence before her death.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cAccording to their confession, Elozino was crying and begging them to let her go\u2026 even after they took her eyes alive, she was still begging them,\u201d she wrote.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>She further claimed that parts of Elozino\u2019s body were removed for ritual purposes, linked to so-called \u201cYahoo Plus\u201d activities, and allegedly handed over to a native doctor identified as Ojokojo Robinson Obajero.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Police investigations at the time, confirmed by the Delta State Police Command spokesperson, DSP Andrew Aniamaka, led to the arrest of several suspects after tracking the victim\u2019s phone. Then Commissioner of Police, Muhammad Mustafa, also confirmed that those apprehended were involved in ritual killings, with at least one suspect reportedly dying while attempting to escape.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Despite these developments, Omojevwe expressed frustration that justice has remained elusive nearly eight years later.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cBut since 2018\u2026 what has happened? Elo has had no justice,\u201d she wrote. \u201cAdjournment after adjournment. Delay after delay. Years have passed.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>She also questioned the role of the university and the hiring process that allegedly allowed a former convict to work within the campus environment.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cShe trusted the wrong person, a security man inside her own school. How can you employ an ex-convict?\u201d she asked.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Calling on Nigerians not to forget the case, Omojevwe urged sustained public pressure to ensure accountability.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cElo is gone, we know. But we want justice\u2026 Please don\u2019t let this case die,\u201d she pleaded. \u201cHow long will young girls keep dying like this?\u201d<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Lizzy Chirkpi A call for justice has reignited public attention on the gruesome 2018 murder of Elozino Joshualia Ogege, as her friend, Tejiomo Omojevwe, breaks her silence with a&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":126233,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-126232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
