Police arrests second suspect involved in killing of ex-Anambra lawmaker
The former lawmaker was three weeks ago riddled with bullets in his Chevrolet SUV in Oye Nimo market at about 8pm.
Governor of the state, Chief Willie Obiano had placed a N5million bounty on the heads of the killers for anyone with information that could lead to their arrest, but later increased it to N15million after the kingpin of the killer gang known as Transformer was arrested a week ago. He said, “Last week Monday, 29/4/2019 I paraded one of the kingpins who actively participated in the dastardly act and declared three others wanted.
“In view of the foregoing and following credible intelligence report, the Command Special Anti-Robbery Squad had on Friday 03/5/2019 at about 7:30pm arrested the second principal suspect, one Okoye Ernest Chinwe aka ‘m’ aged 34 years of Obosi in Idemili North LGA of Anambra State who was initially concealed and later mentioned by the first suspect following discreet investigation.
