The governor’s order follows the gruesome murder of a 300-level student of Mass Communication at Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka, Miss Elozino Ogege.

Elozino, who was lured out of her apartment and abducted, was found dead four days later with her breasts and tongue missing. Reacting to the brutal murder, Okowa condoled with the bereaved family, the Isoko nation and the management of DELSU over the loss, and urged security agencies not only to fish out the culprits but also to crack down on ‘yahoo boys’ suspected to be killing innocent girls for ritual purposes.

The governor, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, noted with serious concern and worry, the increasing and disturbing activities of suspected ritual killers and criminally minded individuals, whose obtrusive and flamboyant escapades are becoming more conspicuous.

Saying that he was greatly distraught by the sad murder of Elozino, the governor assured that no stone would be left unturned to unmask the culprits.

He said: “It is with a heavy heart that I write to express our profound commiserations to the family of Miss Elozino Ogege, the Isoko nation, her friends, both within and outside the university community. I am glad that the security agencies have made serious progress in the investigation into the murder and I can assure Deltans and Nigerians that justice will be served on the perpetrators of this dastard act.

“As a government whose primary responsibility is the protection of lives and property as well as the welfare of her citizens, I urge Deltans and Nigerians to partner with the government and report to security agencies the activities of these gangs with a view to assisting the society get rid of such dangerous groups. Never again as a people shall we condone the activities of these known criminals, as we all seem to agree that enough is enough.

“May the soul of Miss Elozino Ogege and all those who lost their lives in similar circumstances find eternal rest in the bosom of God Almighty.
