The Delta State Police Command has arrested a 27-year-old man, Kelvin Obakpororo, for allegedly killing his girlfriend, identified as Excellence, who was also the mother of his two children.
The Police Public Relations Officer of the command, SP Bright Edafe, confirmed the arrest on Sunday in Asaba.
“You will recall that between June 26 and 27, 2025, social media was awash with the mysterious murder of a girl named Excellence in Sapele, who was killed by her boyfriend and the father of her two kids.
“The suspect initially escaped, but we eventually arrested him, and he is currently in the custody of the command.
“For those demanding justice for Excellence, we want to inform you that he has been arrested, and we assure you that he will be arraigned in court very soon,” Edafe stated.
Confessing to the crime, Obakpororo said he was under the influence of drugs when the incident occurred.
“She was into hookups. Whenever she came to my house, she would change clothes and go out 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 the forehead three times before she fell and died.
“I didn’t know she would die, and I wasn’t in my right senses. I took 200mg of tramadol. It was a mistake. I’m so sorry. She had two sons for me—three and two years old,” he said.
