Popular Nigerian activist, Harrison Gwamnishu has reacted to the statement released by the FCT police command regarding the circumstances that led to the demise of 24-year-old lady, Priscilla Ocheme.
Last weekend, Harrison came online to demand justice for Priscilla on behalf of her bereaved family. According to her family, Priscilla died after leaving home to visit her boyfriend in the Lugbe area of the state. The family say they suspect foul play as the police released the suspect and granted him bail a few days after he was arrested.
The FCT police released a statement this evening October 22, saying that a preliminary investigation showed that the deceased d!ed in an accident after leaving her male friend, Ekhosuehi Iseh’s house.
‘’He was a well-known family friend who frequently visited the deceased at her family home, just as she visited his. On 22 September 2024, she had a minor misunderstanding with her mother, which led her to leave her family home in the Karu area and go to EKHOSUEHI’s residence to cool off. She eventually left his residence later that evening and was on her way home when she was involved in a fatal motorcycle accident at the AMALA MOORE junction in Pyakasa. The accident was witnessed by two labourers, JERRY AMOS and MOSES BALA, who were working nearby at a brick-producing factory. They rushed her to Pyakasa Health Centre for medical attention, after which she was referred to the Federal Medical Centre Jabi, accompanied by two police detectives. Upon arrival at the medical centre, she was confirmed dead by the doctor on duty.”
Reacting to the FCT command’s account of what transpired, Harrison asked for the whereabouts of the motorcycle riders involved in the accident and the autopsy that was carried out on the deceased.
