According to family members, Ejovwo fled to the Ologbo bush after committing the crime to meet a relative.
Felicia was discovered dead in her lover’s bedroom flat on Friday, in a pool of blood from matchet wounds.

According to the victim’s relative, Godwin Laya. “He admitted killing my sister, Felicia, saying it was something that came into his mind to kill her. He accused his mother of witchcraft.
“I believe the killer is trying to draw attention away from his true motivations for killing our sister.” He did admit to owing our sister at the Ovwian Police Division, where he was first detained.
“He wasn’t pushed by any spirit for us.” We’ve heard he committed a previous murder. He is occultic in nature. He either killed our sister for ritual purposes or to avoid paying back the money he owed her.
“He ran to his sister’s place where they produce palm oil, and the sister wanted to bring him back to the village before she was called from the village that her brother killed a woman.”
“After being informed, his sister drove him to Ovwain police station.” We would have retaliated against our sister’s death if they had called us before taking him to the police station, and if he had been brought to us.
“The government must ensure that the suspect receives justice.”
“The man is a suspected ritualist because our sister was discovered near a shrine inside the house, though the police did not allow me to see my sister’s corpse at the mortuary.”
