A man identified as Lintex Ogale has been remanded in prison custody over the alleged murder of 26-year-old interior decorator, Deborah Moses.

Ogale made his first court appearance on Wednesday at the Yaba Magistrate Court around 10 a.m., where he was arraigned on charges connected to the fatal stabbing of Moses at her Lagos apartment earlier this month.

After reviewing the case file, the presiding magistrate ordered that Ogale be kept at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre pending further proceedings. The matter has been adjourned, with the next hearing date to be communicated once administrative formalities are concluded.

Moses, popularly known by her brand name Deb’rah Porsche, was killed on September 3, 2025, in what police have described as a domestic violence incident. Ogale, her ex-boyfriend, was arrested at the scene after neighbours intervened and subdued him.

The tragic case has drawn widespread attention, with family, friends, and women’s rights advocates welcoming the court’s decision. Many have stressed that “justice must be served” for the late Deborah Moses.
