“It is disheartening that your daughter, Elozino was murdered in such a brutal way by alleged ritualists parading as “yahoo boys”. Members of the IAN and the entire Isoko nation are with you in this moment of grief. You are not alone.

“IAN has raised a five man legal team to join in the prosecution of those already implicated by police investigation. This is to ensure justice is achieved and that the prosecution does not fail. Whatever support we can give for justice to prevail shall be done”, he declared.

Hon Idise, also expressed the pain of the Patron of the group and former Secretary of the Delta State Government, Comrade Ovouzourie Macaulay, who could not make the trip as a result of national assignments, pledged the support of the ex-SSG in ensuring that justice is achieved.

She thanked the IAN and the former SSG for the support and vowed that the spirit of Elozino would continue to haunt those behind the killing until they have been brought to book and justice secured.
