The Kogi state police command has
announced the arrest of six persons in connection with the killing of Salome
Abuh, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) woman leader in the state.
She was burnt alive in her house
during the collation of the November 16 governorship election result.
While parading the suspects in
Lokoja, the state capital, on Tuesday, Akeem Busari, commissioner of police,
said his men in collaboration with local vigilantes arrested them on November
22.
He identified the six suspects as
Ocholi Edicha, Adamu Haruna, Onu Egbunu, Musa Alidu, Attai Haruna and Attah
Ejeh.
Busari said Edicha confessed he
led the gang to Abuh’s house and also revealed that they had been masterminding
a series of robberies in the state.
The commissioner of police said
all those involved in the act will not go unpunished as investigation was
ongoing.
The suspects, however, denied
killing Abuh but admitted being thieves operating in the area.
Abuh was buried during the
weekend. At her funeral, Abuh’s widower said she paid the ultimate sacrifice
for unity.
