The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has dismissed allegations of a cover-up in the investigation of the death of Miss Priscilla Ocheme, reportedly involving her boyfriend, Ekosuehi Iseh Elvis, also known as Richard. The Command confirmed that the investigation remains ongoing, following social media speculation surrounding the incident at Richard’s residence in Lugbe, Abuja.
According to the police statement, the suspect, a 30-year-old native of Oredo, Edo State, was questioned on September 24, 2024. It was revealed that Priscilla and Ekosuehi reconnected after initially meeting at Madonna University, following a gap in contact since 2019.
On September 22, Priscilla had a minor disagreement with her mother, leading her to leave her home in Karu and head to Ekosuehi’s residence. Later that day, while returning home, she was involved in a fatal motorcycle accident at the Amala Moore junction in Pyakasa. Eyewitnesses, identified as Jerry Amos and Moses Bala, rushed her to Pyakasa Health Centre, from where she was transferred to the Federal Medical Centre in Jabi. Unfortunately, she was pronounced dead on arrival.
Addressing the rumors, the police reiterated their dedication to a transparent investigation, stating, “The FCT Police Command prides itself on its professionalism and integrity in investigative processes and would never malign its name with unethical practices or actions that compromise the public’s trust.”
The Command assured the public of its commitment to a thorough probe, pledging to provide further updates as the investigation unfolds.
