In Delta, Teenage girl squeezed To Death by ritualists

Favour Ogheneyenrowho, 18 has been reportedly squeezed to death by suspected ritualists in Abraka, Ethiope-East council area of Delta state.

Her elder Sister Maureen Sunday, told the police that Favour, had received a call from a male at about 10 a.m, requesting that she met him at the Abraka park. She, however, replied the caller that she was going to the market with her elder sister.

Miss Sunday added that on their way out of their residence located along Winners Road, a young man, whom she had never seen before (whom she believed was the same person that called her sister earlier), boarded a motorcycle that stopped at the junction and approached them.

A short conversation ensued between them and her late sister, Favour, joined him on the bike and they rode off, even as she called after her to return early.

Unfortunately, it was the shocking news of her sister, dead and tied with ropes in a sack, that reached her the following day.

It was gathered that the victim’s pubic hairs were shaved off before she was murdered and her remains kept in a "Ghana-must-Go" bag which was disposed at a dump site behind Ozoro park in the town.


Confirming the incident, the Delta State Police Commissioner, Mr Adeyinka Adeleke, explained that what had been discovered so far revealed that the killing of the victim was more of a murder case and not ritual killing.

The police boss also revealed that the suspected killer, who is believed to be Favour’s boyfriend, has since been on the run, adding that the state police command was already on his trial.
