CITIZENS COMPASS— A 27-year-old murder suspect, Kelvin Obakpororo, has confessed that he took the hard drug, Tramadol, and smoked Loud which influenced him to kill his girlfriend, Excellent, in Delta State.
The mother of two sons was killed on June 7, 2025 when the suspect hit her with a hammer during a heated argument.
The Delta State Police Command has since arrested the suspect after an initial escape.
Spokesperson for the Command, Bright Edafe, confirmed the arrest to newsmen in Asaba, the state capital on Sunday.
According to a video released by the spokesperson, Obakpororo confessed to the crime, blaming himself for falling under the influence of hard drugs.
He said, “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.”
Confessing to the crime, Obakpororo said, “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.
The suspect admitted to being involved in internet fraud (commonly referred to as “pressing”) and expressed regret for killing the mother of his children.
