Tochukwu Ikenga, Anambra police spokesman, says the command
has not arrested any suspect linked to the death of Okechukwu Okoye, lawmaker
representing Aguata II constituency.
Okoye, an indigene of Isuofia, the same community as
Chukwuma Soludo, governor of Anambra, was kidnapped in Aguata on May 15
alongside Cyril Chiegboka, his campaign director.
Subsequently, the lawmaker’s headless body was found in
Nnobi area of the state.
Shortly after this, Soludo had offered N10 million reward to
anyone with useful information on the killers of Okoye.
Over the weekend, there were reports that the police had
arrested the suspected killer of the lawmaker in Imo state.
Speaking on the development, Ikenga said the police command
in Anambra does not have any suspect linked to the incident in custody.
“The command wants to use this opportunity to let the
members of the public know that the trust bestowed on the police will not be
taken for granted, especially as it regards unmasking the identities of the
persons involved in the murder of the lawmaker in the state,” he said.
“We have no suspect
in custody yet, but investigation is still ongoing and soon we will get back to
the members of the public on the development.”
Michael Abattam, the Imo police spokesperson, also said no
such arrest was recorded by the state command.
“We didn’t arrest any suspect linked to killing of the
lawmaker,” he said.
