A Benin-based Yahoo Boy, Osas, is on the run for the alleged ritual killing of her girlfriend, Elohor Oniorosa.

Edo State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Bello Kontongs, a Superintendent of Police (SP), yesterday disclosed that the father of the victim, William Oniorosa, reported the murder of his daughter to the police, with the investigation ongoing to arrest the suspected ritualist.

The killing took place on Christmas Eve at the Egor axis of Benin, the Edo State capital, shortly after Osas returned from Ghana.

Kontongs said: “The suspect’s name is Osas, while his surname is unknown. He is the boyfriend of Elohor Oniorosa, the daughter of William Oniorosa, who reported the incident to the police. The investigation is on, while the suspect is on the run.”

Edo PPRO also admonished members of the public to always give the police command useful and timely information about criminals in their midst. He assured that their identities would be adequately protected.
