The Delta State Police Command has arrested a 27-year-old man, Kelvin Obakpororo, for killing his lover, a mother of two, simply identified as Excellence.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Delta State Command, SP Bright Edafe, disclosed this on Sunday in Asaba, the Delta State capital.
He said, “You remember between June 26 and 27, 2025, the social media was awash with the mysterious murder of a girl named Excellence in Sapele, who was murdered by his boyfriend and the father of her two kids.
“The suspect initially escaped but was eventually arreste. He is in the custody of the command.
“For those who are demanding justice for Excellence, we want to inform you that he (the suspected killer) has been arrested and we are assuring you that very soon, he will be arraigned in the court.”
Confessing to the crime, the suspect, Mr Kelvin Obakpororo, lamented that he was under the influence of drugs when he killed her.
“She was doing a hook-up. Whenever she came to my house, she would carry some clothes and change to see another man. So, on that fateful day, she came to my house and we had an argument. She took a knife and I took a hammer.”
After I overpowered her, I used the hammer to hit her on her forehead three times before she fell and died.
“I didn’t know she would die, and it wasn’t my clear eyes. I took 200mg of tramadol. It’s a mistake. I’m so sorry. She had two sons: three and two-year-old sons, for me,” he narrated.
The suspect said he was into pressing (Internet fraud), and regretted killing the mother of his children.
