POLICE DECLARE KONYEHAN FRIDAY WANTED FOR MURDER 

The Delta State Police Command has declared a 15 years old, Konyehan Friday wanted after he reportedly escaped from the Agbor Police Divisional Headquarters while waiting to be charged to court for the alleged murder of his father, Mr. Sunday Konyehan on March 5, 2010.

   In a press release signed by the Delta State Police Command, Public Relations Officer, DSP Charles Muka, said Konyehan Friday is a wanted person, while appealing to members of the public to be on the lookout and immediately report to the nearest police station when sighted. 

   As at when journalists visited the head of  Konyehan family kindred in Agbor Kingdom, Mr. Peter Konyehan for more details on the issue, he said the wanted Keonyehan Friday is the only son of their late brother, Mr. Sunday Konyehan whose cause of sudden death has remained mysterious. 

Mr. Konyehan disclosed that barely three months after the death of Mr. Sunday Konyehan that Konyehan Friday was arrested by the Policemen of Agbor Divisional Headquarters following an allegation made by his stepmother, Caro Konyehan that he killed his father so that he could inherit his property.

According to him, “We the family members of our late brother never believed Caro's allegation against Friday for the fact that she can best be described as Jezebel. All efforts to convince the police that the accused is innocent failed; instead he was illegally detained for over seven months. Her hatred for her step son stems from the fact that she was unable to have a male child. 

“It was in March 3, 2011that we heard through a press release by the police that Konyehan Friday escaped from police cell and is being declared wanted. At first, we doubted the police, thinking that our son (Friday) might have been killed and buried without our knowledge. But a policeman who craves anonymity told us that Friday escaped because preparation was ongoing to charge him to court for murder.

“For now, our brother’s remains is in the morgue and all efforts to make peace have been fruitless. Instead, Caro, who is very influential, insists that Friday must rot and die in prison custody".

  The Nigeria Police in Delta State, has declared a 19year indigene of Agbor kingdom in Delta State, Okoh Happy, wanted for his alleged involvement in homosexuality.

   This was made known in a publication released from the Police command on Thursday, June 18, 2015, naming the suspect, Happy, who is currently on the run, wanted.

    Ika Weekly gathered that the suspect committed the crime on Monday, June 15, 2015 at St. John's College, Alihagu Agbor, with his partner whose name was given as John Kelvin and presently in police custody.

   They were said to have been caught in the unholy act by the some community indigenes while Happy narrowly escaped  and his partner, Kelvin who was unlucky, was seriously beaten before handed over to the police.

    It was learnt from a reliable source that the police are working alongside the vigilante to fish out the suspect Happy. 

   "Homosexuality is a taboo, our customs and traditions forbids it. It is viewed as inhuman and alien to our conservative nation," the source said.

  It could be recalled that the Nigeria's former president, Goodluck Jonathan, had signed the national bill prohibiting guy practise (Homosexual) into law. The law forbids any cohabitation between persons of the same-sex sexual pertners and bans any "public show of same sex amorous relationship." Punishmenti to the  crime are severe, ranging from 10 to14 years in prison. This has also led dozens of homosexuals fled the country in recent times due to increase harrasment, arrests and violation of their human right.

   However, the Police command pledged to reward anyone with useful information to the whereabout of Okoh Happy.
