On Sunday, March 29, a 30-year-old man named Sunday Ejor from Nwang community in Ekajuk Ward 2, Ogoja Local Government Area of northern Cross River State, allegedly killed a woman in his hometown. Ejor had fled Lagos after being questioned in connection with the murder of his wife, Ngozi Ejor, who was found dead in their apartment in the Alapere area of Ketu, Lagos State. He returned to Cross River State, where he reportedly strangled the woman, identified as Mary James, to death. Local sources said Ejor and Mary James had been in a relationship prior to his marriage to Ngozi. Following the killing, residents of Nwang community apprehended Ejor and handed him over to police. He is currently in police custody awaiting formal charges. The Lagos State Police Command confirmed that Ejor was questioned in connection with his wife's death before he disappeared. Forensic experts from Lagos had collected samples from the couple's apartment for analysis. Authorities in Cross River State have begun an investigation into the killing of Mary James.
Sunday Ejor is accused of killing one woman in Lagos over suspected infidelity, then allegedly killing another in Cross River after returning from police questioning. The same man was free to travel between states while under investigation for murder. His movements raise questions about coordination between state police commands. Nigerians deserve to know how a suspect in a homicide case was allowed to leave custody and cross state lines.
