A man in his middle age, identified as Alex Itedjere and believed to be a pastor, has been taken into custody for allegedly using a machete to kill a young girl in the Agbarha-Otor community of Delta State. The victim's body was found in the pastor's house in the agricultural community. Sources indicate that the cleric used a machete to end the young girl's life. However, the specific details surrounding the motive for the killing are still unclear at this time. In response to the gruesome incident, angry youths from the community reportedly stormed the pastor's house seeking retribution. They were on the verge of lynching him, but security operatives were called in by concerned leaders and managed to intervene in time to prevent further violence. Comrade Israel Joe, a human rights activist, swiftly demanded justice for the deceased girl and appealed to the state Commissioner of Police, CP Wale Abass, to initiate a thorough investigation into the incident and ensure that the accused person is prosecuted in accordance with the laws of the land. Unfortunately, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bright Edafe, was not available for comment at the time of reporting. However, a senior security source from the command confirmed that the suspect was apprehended earlier today.
