The Edo state police command has arrested a suspect, Joshua Osaigbovo, over the death of Osato Festus Edogiaweria, his girlfriend.
In a statement on Monday, Moses Yamu, police spokesperson in Edo, said the investigation began when the deceased’s mother filed a missing person report at Aduwawa police division on April 25.
According to Yamu, the mother said her daughter had left home on April 20 with a friend and had not been heard from since.
Yamu said the case was transferred to the state criminal investigations department, adding that the suspect confessed that Edogiaweria died after falling and hitting her head on the ground when they had an altercation.
“Operatives of the Family Unit, through painstaking investigation and technical intelligence, arrested one Joshua Osaigbovo, a resident of Iyanomon community in Ikpoba-Okha LGA, in connection with the crime on 18th June 2025,” the statement reads.
“During interrogation, the suspect confessed to inviting Osato to his residence on April 27. An altercation broke out between the two, during which Osato fell, hit her head on the ground, and died.
“Osaigbovo further confessed to taking the young woman’s body in a wheelbarrow to a nearby bush, where he buried her in a shallow grave a few meters from his home.
“On June 20, 2025, Osaigbovo led police operatives to the burial site in the Iyanomon community. The remains of Osato Festus were exhumed following all necessary procedures. The suspect is expected to be charged in court as soon as investigations are concluded.”
