Court sentences ex- driver to death for murdering Abuja elderly couple

The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has secured the conviction and death sentence of Jonathan Marcus, a former driver to an elderly couple, for the murder of his former employers, Mr Adebola Ezekiel, 80, and his wife, Mrs Abiodun Ezekiel, at their residence in Apo Legislative Quarters, Abuja.

The command disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday by its spokesperson, Josephine Adeh.

According to the police, Marcus was convicted by the FCT High Court after the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that he murdered the couple on April 1, 2024.

Adeh said the incident occurred at the victims’ residence in Zone D, Apo Legislative Quarters, and was followed by an extensive investigation that led to the suspect’s arrest.

She said, “The investigation led to the arrest of the suspect, Jonathan Marcus, a former driver to the deceased, who was tracked to Obajana, Kogi State, where he had gone into hiding after he committed the crime. He was subsequently arrested and brought to Abuja for further investigation.”

The police spokesperson said the suspect confessed during interrogation to carrying out the killings after gaining access to the couple’s residence late at night.

"During interrogation, the suspect confessed to gaining access to the residence of the deceased at about 11:00 p.m. on 1st April, 2024, where he murdered the couple,” she said.

Adeh added that investigations revealed Marcus had previously worked as the couple’s driver but was dismissed following repeated disagreements with them.

She said the suspect was arraigned before the FCT High Court, where the police prosecuted the case.

“After evaluating the evidence adduced by the prosecution and hearing the submissions of counsel, Hon. Justice M. S. Idris of the FCT High Court held that the prosecution had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt. Consequently, the Court convicted Jonathan Marcus and sentenced him to death by hanging for the murder of Mr. Adebola Ezekiel and Mrs. Abiodun Ezekiel,” the statement read.

The police reiterated their commitment to ensuring that criminal offenders are brought to justice.

She Spent 16 Months in Chains—Her Only "Crime" Was Looking for Her Son

Police rescue Abuja woman chained by brother for 16 months

A man has been arrested in the Federal Capital Territory after police discovered that he had held his sister captive in a locked room under chains for over one year and four months.

The FCT Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Sanusi, disclosed the case while briefing journalists in Abuja on Monday, describing it as one of the most dehumanising scenes his officers had encountered.

He said the command received a distress call on June 12, 2026, indicating that a woman, Grace Aniekuoku, 36, was being held in chains and locked inside a room by her brother, Chinedu Aniekuoku.

“Upon receipt of the report, I immediately dispatched a team of detectives from Katampe Division to the scene,” the commissioner said.

He, however, revealed that on arrival, the suspect refused police entry into his residence — a resistance that triggered the invocation of police powers of ingress and liberation.

“I ordered that they should invoke the police powers of ingress and liberation to gain access to the premises.

“What that power gives the police is this: if you want to go into a place for a lawful duty and you are restricted, you can break in and do your duty,” the commissioner explained.

Upon gaining entry, he said officers found the victim in a condition the commissioner described as deeply shocking.

“The victim was seen in a highly dehumanising condition, where she had stayed for this long in her own faeces and excreta. She eats there, defecates there — nobody cleans it, nobody cares about her welfare.

“Her hair was so grown, like a forest. She became so emaciated that a camera stand is thicker than her nec[/b]k,” he said.

Sanusi added that the victim was immediately rushed to a hospital, where she is receiving treatment.

“We just pray that she survives to tell us the story,” the commissioner said.

[b]The investigations revealed a chilling motive behind the prolonged captivity.

The commissioner said the suspect had allegedly taken away the victim’s son to an unknown location about two years earlier and subsequently locked up his sister to prevent her from raising questions about the child’s whereabouts.

“The suspect had forcefully taken away the victim’s son to an unknown location about two years ago and subsequently kept his sister in confinement to prevent her from raising any questions regarding the whereabouts of the child, who may have been used for sacrifice,” the commissioner said.

He said efforts were ongoing to trace and rescue the missing child, while the suspect remained in custody pending the conclusion of investigations.

“The suspect will be charged to court upon conclusion of investigations,” the commissioner said.

Police arrest three over Rivers driver’s murder

The Rivers State Police Command said its officers have arrested three suspects linked to the gruesome murder of a 55-year-old bus driver identified as Christopher Akpabio in Asarama community in Andoni Local Government Area of the state.
The police said the suspects arrest followed a report it received about the driver’s disappearance, prompting an intelligence-driven investigation by the Command’s ‘Violent Crime Response Unit.

Spokesperson for the state Police Command, Blessing Agabe, disclosed this in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Thursday evening and sent to newsmen.

Agabe, as Assistant Superintendent of Police, said the suspects hired the driver from Garrison, a popular junction in Port Harcourt, for him to take them to the Rivers community for a traditional marriage, unknown to him that they had a sinister motive.

According to the statement, while on their way to Asarama community, the miscreants accosted the driver, killed him, buried his remains in a shallow grave in the area and carted away his mini-bus.

The statement reads, “Following the proactive crime-fighting strategies of the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Olugbenga Adepoju, aimed at combating violent crimes and strengthening public safety across the State, in line with the directives of the Inspector General of Police, Olatunji Disu, the Command has recorded a major breakthrough in the investigation of a case involving alleged murder and robbery, leading to the arrest of three suspects and the recovery of a stolen vehicle.

“The incident was reported on 22nd May 2026 following the disappearance of one Mr. Christopher Emmanuel Akpabio, male, 55 years, a native of Akwa Ibom State.

“Preliminary investigation revealed that the deceased was hired at Garrison Park, Port Harcourt, by the suspects under the guise of transporting them to Asarama Community in Andoni Local Government Area for a traditional marriage ceremony, unknown to him that they had a sinister mission to murder him and dispossess him of his vehicle, a black Daihatsu Hijet minibus with registration number BGM 328 DA.”

It added, “Further investigation later led to the shocking discovery of the victim’s remains buried in a shallow grave at Asarama community in Andoni Local Government Area in Rivers state.”

The state police image maker gave the names of the arrested suspects as ”David Mark, male, aged 30 and a native of Andoni LGA. Nkajit Williams, male, aged 45, also from Andoni LGA and Godgift John, male (33), a native of Okrika LGA”, all in Rivers State.

She said acting on the operational directives of the Commissioner of Police, “Operatives of the Command’s Violent Crime Response Unit in Diobu immediately launched a painstaking intelligence-driven investigation which culminated in the arrest of the three suspects on 28th May 2026.

“During the operation, the stolen black Daihatsu Hijet minibus with registration number BGM 328 DA was successfully recovered, while the remains of the deceased have been deposited at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital mortuary for preservation and further examination.

“Investigation is still ongoing, and concerted efforts have been intensified to apprehend the fourth suspect who is currently at large.”

The state police command advised members of the public to exercise caution and be vigilant when entering transportation or business arrangements with unfamiliar persons, especially for long-distance or late-night trips.

“Commercial drivers are strongly advised to always inform family members, colleagues, or trusted associates before embarking on such journeys. Residents are also encouraged to promptly report suspicious persons, movements, or activities to the nearest Police Station or through the Command’s emergency lines for prompt action,” the statement added.

The Command, however, reassures the people and residents of the state of its unwavering commitment to protecting lives and property and ensuring that criminal elements have no safe haven anywhere within the oil-rich state.

Recall that in May, the Imo State Police Command arrested three students of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Imo State, in connection with the alleged murder of a 21-year-old undergraduate, Chinedu Christogonus.

The deceased, a 100-level student of Cyber Security, was reportedly beaten to death by members of the university’s Man O’ War organisation for allegedly stealing N13,500.
