delta state university david wonder hanged to death

A 27-year-old clerical officer of the
Delta State University, DELSU,
Abraka, one David Wonder
Erhirhie has been sentenced to
death by an Orerokpe high court
in the State, having found him
guilty of killing a female student,
Princess Chinoso Ijezie who was
seeking for admission at the
University sometime in 2009.
Prosecution led by Mr.
Theophilous Omenuwoma had
told the court that “David Wonder,
until the ugly incident was a
junior staff with DELSU was an
admission racketeer who
collected the sum of N155,000
from the deceased to assist her to
secure admission into the
University.
“He however could not secure the
admission for the deceased but in
a bid to cover up the fraud he
lured the late Princes Chinoso
Ijezie to his house under the
pretence that he wanted to
refund the said amount but
instead, he murdered and secretly
buried her in a shallow grave
close to his house before nemesis
caught up with him”, prosecution
added.
Prosecution called six witnesses
to prove its case while the
accused testified by himself and
called no witness.
The court in convicting him stated
that “the punishment for a crime
of this magnitude is death
penalty. This accused does not
deserve less.
He is therefore sentenced to
death by the neck until he is
dead”.
