Slaughtered DELSU student: Okowa Vows To Fish Out Killers

Delta State Governor Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa has vowed to fish out the perpetrators of the ritual murder of Elozino Ogege, a 300 level student of Delta State University (DELSU).

This is even as he presented financial assistance to the tune of N6 million to the family of the late Mass Communication student.

Miss Elozino Joshuana Ogege, a 300 level student of Mass Communication in Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka, was gruesomely murdered by alleged ritualists on November 15, 2018, four days after she was declared missing in Abraka.

Speaking in Asaba during the presentation of the financial support, Okowa who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Olorogun David Edevbie, assured deltans of government’s readiness to tackle the security challenges in the state.
