THE Delta State Police Command says it has arrested a serial killer and prison escapee, Michael Ezenwai, in the Agbor area of Delta State.
The police spokesperson, SP Bright Edafe, stated this in a press release on Wednesday in Asaba, the state capital.
He stated, “On October 24, 2025, the DPO Agbor received a complaint that one Michael Ezenwai was trying to sell a suspected stolen phone. The DPO swiftly mobilised operatives to the scene and immediately arrested the suspect.
“Upon interrogation, the suspect claimed that he brought the phone from Libya. Later that same day, the phone rang, and the caller stated that the phone belonged to her sister, Christabel Egedefe. Upon the strength of this information, the DPO and team proceeded to the house of the said Christabel and discovered her dead in her apartment.
“At the point, the suspect confessed to the murder of the victim, Christabel Egedefe, 26, and initially lied that the father of the deceased had asked him to do it. Upon further interrogation, the suspect changed his statement, stating that he was only trying to indict the father of the victim.
“He then stated that he went on a robbery operation at her house on the evening of October 23, 2025, and murdered her when she refused to let go of her motorcycle keys and also made away with her mobile phones.

Preliminary investigation by the police, the PPRO revealed, later revealed that the suspect is a serial murderer and was part of the syndicate that raped and murdered Uwaila Omorzua, a 200-level student of UNIBEN, who was murdered in the church when she went to study in 2020.

According to Edafe, the suspect further stated that he escaped from the Oko correctional centre during the #EndSARS 2020 jailbreak.

In another development, the command nabbed a pastor who defiled a 17-year-old girl.
