Bring killers of female student to justice, body tells Okowa

By Nosa Akenzua, Asaba.

The National Association of Delta state Students (NADESSTU) on Wednesday appealed to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa to ensure that justice prevails in the murder of late Miss Elozino Ogege, a 300 level student of Delta state University, Abraka (DELSU).

Elozino was allegedly murdered in cold blood by suspected internet fraudsters in November 2018. 

The student body in a statement signed by the acting President, Imalah Ugochanum a copy made available to our correspondent in Asaba, charged the state government to live up to its promise to the family of the victim by ensuring justice is delivered on time, adding that the suspects have allegedly been boasting that the case will go nowhere.

The statement reads: “Many may have forgotten so soon how the young and promising student, Miss Elozino Ogege was murdered and slaughtered; the culprits have been arrested and we want justice in the case because the suspects are currently boasting on the streets that nothing will happen to them.”

Furthermore, the statement averred that the mother of the victim has continued to cry for justice and is presently undergoing emotional pains based on the judgment by a high court in Asaba on March 8, in which one of the suspects who was indicted in the murder freed on grounds of Noelle Prosecui because she is a minor.

The student body therefore, called on political leaders, stakeholders and the human rights community as well as well-meaning Nigerians to come to the aid of the victim’s family and ensure justice is delivered.

They declared that the student group will continue to monitor the progress of the case in court, vowing that “Delta state students will not rest until justice is delivered because injustice anywhere is a threat to justice. We will not take it.”
