The Inspector-General of Police,
IGP’s Monitoring Team has arrested an ex-chairman of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP in Ethiope-East Local Government Area of Delta State, Dr. Kings
Okpako as well as one Henry Ikechukwu over the alleged murder of an
eighteen-year-old girl, Ogheneyerohwo Favour Sunday.
The suspects, who were arrested
in Abraka community, were seen in a photograph hand-cuffed under the scorching
sun by the police, who also denied them bail.
The duo are currently being
interrogated by the Police and the case have also been transferred to the Delta
State Police Command.
It was learnt that the IGP’s team
tricked the ex- PDP Chairman that one of his properties was allegedly being
sold and bought by unknown persons in the community.
By the time he showed up, the
IGP’s team, who had already arrested Henry Ikechukwu, boyfriend of the
deceased, rounded Dr. Okpako, a herbal medicine seller, up and handcuffed him
with his accomplice.
The Delta State Police Command in
a statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Onome
Onovwakpoyeya, disclosed that one of suspects, Henry Ikechukwu, 32 was tracked
down and arrested on 28th June.
The Police also said one other
whose name was not mentioned has also been arrested in connection with the
alleged murder of the eighteen year old girl.
According to the Police, “On
interrogation, he (Ikechukwu) confessed to have invited the deceased for an
outing on 17th of June, 2019, from where he lured her and handed her over to a
prominent chief in the same Abraka community, who gave him the assignment to
get the deceased for him.
“The said chief has also been
arrested and the two suspects are presently in Police custody pending
investigation.
“They will soon appear in court
