Delta State Police Command has declared Michael Ogbeife, an SS3 student of Erhimu Secondary School, Abraka, wanted.
Newspeakonline had reported how Ogbeife killed a teacher of the school, Joseph Ezeugo, by beating him to death.
He is said to be on the run after perpetrating the illicit act last Thursday.
The deceased teacher, who was said to be in charge of Agricultural Science and Biology in the school, had flogged Michael’s younger sister, Promise Ogbeife, who was involved in a dispute with her classmate.
Michael got infuriated by the teacher’s decision to flog his sister and the enraged SS3 student descended on Ezeugo.
It was gathered that the teacher collapsed after some punches from the student which left him with a bleeding nose and mouth.
Consequently, the teacher was rushed to a private hospital in the community, from where he was referred to a government hospital where he was confirmed dead on arrival.
The Delta State Police Command spokesperson, DSP Bright Edafe, said that the suspect has been on the run since the incident.
“The suspect is nowhere to be found for now, but his sister is in protective custody,” Edafe said.
He added that that efforts are being intensified to arrest the fleeing suspect.
