Raga Rasta musician, Sunday Ekwe, popularly known as Ekwe SAMPLE, is in police custody for allegedly killing his lover, Rukayat Idris. Ekwe was arrested by homicide detectives attached to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba, Lagos on May 9, 2012 following allegation that he strangled and killed Idris in her Honda Civic car on April 13, 2012.

Police sources told Eagleonline that Idris, a mother of two, was found dead in her car under the bridge close to the Trade Fair Complex Bus Stop on the ever busy Mile2-Badagry Expressway around 8pm.Her corpse was discovered by passers-by who alerted the police at the Trade Fair Police Station.
The car was allegedly first noticed at that spot in the afternoon of April 13, 2012.
Idris' remains has since been deposited in a mortuary, with autopsy to be carried out.
The police said there was no gunshot wound and investigation so far revealed that nothing was stolen from her.
However, there were marks on her neck, which indicated that she was strangled.
Ekwe, who has separated from Idris before the incident, was fingered by her lover's family as the suspect in the presumed murder.
Sources closed to the estranged couple told the police that Ekwe and Idris have been separated for close to a year over issues of constant quarrelling and battering.
It was gathered that Ekwe moved out of the apartment at the Central Bank of Nigeria Quarters, Satellite Town, Lagos, which he shared with Idris and their child, a girl, following his low profile life after his finances dwindled.
One Rasta Mumen, a close friend of Idis's, told the police that Idris was abandoned and has been squatting with friends after the rent at the CBN Quarters ran out last year.
Mumen also told the police that Idris, an indigene of Kogi State, left her child with her that fateful day for the market but never returned home.
Sources close to the family added that after the police discovered Idris’s corpse, they informed Ekwe but he showed no concern.
“It was Ruyakat’s sister who came from Port Harcourt that identified her body and made the complaint, because when Ekwe was called that Ruyakat’s corpse was found in her car, he showed no remorse or came to identify her,” the source, who requested anonymity, said.
It was further gathered that popular rasta musicians such as Daddy Showkey, African China among others have shown their solidarity with Ekwe as they came to visit him in the cell at Panti last weekend.

ReplyDeleteHe can’t do this now. Why should he kill someone.
ReplyDeletethank you anon 10.13,,mr ex-husband is assuming that he's ex will die first....ive never read such evil comment in while.....
ReplyDeleteThis is a serious matter
ReplyDeleteHa! Ha! Pop champagn ke cos u nt togeda agin dosnt mean u shud wish her dead. Its only God dat can save women in dis life o.
ReplyDeletewhen did Mr, champagne popping dude ever say he WANTS his ex-wife dead or ASSUMES his ex-wife will die first, he simply said IF SHE SHOWS UP DEAD....IF IF IF IF....some of you people have access to the internet but are extremely retarded...nice comment by the way Mr. champagne popper
ReplyDeleteLet us assume he is innocent until proven guilty by the court of law
ReplyDeleteEl loco repent and turn to God before it is too late. Shows up dead or wish her death are still referring to the same thing. Repent and embrace a clean heart.
ReplyDeleteplease is he really the killer because so far the post says he didn't show up to identify her and no one made mention of citing them together on that faithful day. how come he is being fingered as the killer......just trying to think from outside the box.........so sad...R.I.P. n i pray someone nice takes care of your girl.
ReplyDeleteel loco u are the one that is a crazed retard and if u continue you will end up a murderer...
ReplyDeleteThe police in Nigeria would never seize to amaze me.What evidence have they got to prove that ekwe was guilty?They saw marks on her neck which indicated stranglation....so???What about if she tried to hand herself??....couldnt that have caused marks on her neck.let's not always jump into conclusions.....you could be in Ekwe's shoes someday.As for "Mr Champagne popper",the fact is the guy is entitled to his own opinion.The problem with us as a people is that we're too narrow-minded and do not accomodate varied opinions as we like to stick to stereotypical views created by society overtime....An opinion is an opinion......whether good or bad.....if you're a christian,like me,and feel that 'wishing death' is bad,what if he's not a christian?.....Nigerians....learn to open your minds!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe police should release Ekwe without further delay. Infact, Ekwe should sue the Police for unlawful detention. There is no law that permits the Police to arrest Ekwe for alleged failure to show up and identify the corpse of his enstranged live in lover.
ReplyDeleteNo'Austine, Ekwe can not sue the police bcos they are doing their work.From a reliable source the lady was beaten mercilessly and her shoulder was broken by Ekwe just becos she wanted their baby's up keeping and few days later she was found dead who will be your first suspect?
ReplyDeleteMany mothers have suffered such and alot are still suffering somebody has to teach others lesson. Women are not created to suffer after given birth to their children.Fine, women can be pain in the ass but then men need to be careful with them.
Anyway, nothing is hiden to God. Judgement day is now on earth!( Almighty God is doing cash and carry now)
Austin, police know what they are doing. From a reliable source she was beaten mercilessly and her shoulder was broken few days to her death just becos she went to him for their child up keep. Austine, who will be your first suspect? Alot of women have suffered such and alot are still suffering. For him to be detained there is a reason for that. God judgement is now on earth.( Almighty God is doing cash and carry now) Women can be pain in the ass but men need to be careful with them.
