Delta man confesses to killing partner, blames drug influence

A 27-year-old man identified as Kelvin has confessed to killing his partner, Excel Peace, the mother of his two children, in a tragic incident that occurred on June 26, 2025.

After weeks in hiding, Kelvin was apprehended and brought before the Delta State Police Command, where he admitted to the crime during an interrogation.

In a video shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Delta State Police spokesperson, SP Bright Edafe, conducted the interrogation in which Kelvin claimed that drugs influenced his actions. He admitted that a heated argument with Excel escalated and led him to strike her three times, resulting in her death.

According to him, he had earlier taken 100 milligrams of tramadol, coupled with smoking loud, which influenced his actions.

His words: “ I’m 27 years old. I have known my baby mama for six years, and she had two sons for me, aged two and three years respectively.

“Our argument started because of her prostitution lifestyle. I discovered that day that she was into it because she came to my house with Vegas and clothes she would change into. When the argument escalated, she took a knife while I carried a hammer. I was able to drag her closer, took the knife from her, and used the hammer to hit her three times on her forehead.

“When I hit her, I never knew she would die. When I realized she had died, I attempted to fall from the storey building where I was so I could die along with her, but nothing happened.

“That very day, I took 100 milligrams of tramadol and also smoked loud. The effect of the substances I took led me to the act. It has not been long since I started taking those substances.”

Speaking on his source of income, he added, “I am into farming, and I also do yahoo yahoo, otherwise known as fraud.”
