Police arrest LP candidate 'who hired assailants to kill OfficialPDPNig chieftain’ in Ebonyi | TheCable
The Ebonyi police command arrested four suspects over the alleged killing of Peter Nweke, a Peoples Democratic Party ward chairman, in Ezza north LGA of the state.
Speaking at a press conference on Friday in Abakaliki, the capital of Ebonyi, Onome Onovwakpoyeya, police spokesperson in the state, said one of the suspects is a Labour Party house of assembly candidate. “Sequel to the dastardly act, the commissioner of police, CP Faleye S. Olaleye, tasked all police officers in the command to fish out all those responsible for the killing,” the police spokesperson said.
“According to Nwali, the late Peter Nweke posed a threat to his political ambition, so he contacted one Akwasi, a male, of Nnachi Umuezeoka in Ezza north, who spear-headed the torture that eventually resulted in the death of Mr Nweke.
