Seven Arrested over Asadu's Murder, Says IGP
A disclosure on Wednesday came from the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Muhammed Abubakar, that seven persons have been arrested in connection with the killing of the former Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Chinwike Asadu.
Asadu was murdered about three months ago at his Amorji Nike residence in Enugu-East Council of Enugu State.
Briefing journalists in Enugu during his official visit to the state, the IGP said the arms used by the killers during the operations were also recovered by the police.
He said following the confessional statements of the arrested suspects, the police were on the trail of other collaborators in the murder.
He said: “We have arrested seven of those behind the killing of CP Chinwike Asadu. His killing was indeed a sad incident and that was why when I visited the family after the incident, I made a promise that we would stop at nothing to get those behind that dastardly act.
“I am glad to tell Nigerians that of those who took part in the killing, seven have been arrested and arraigned before a court”.
He gave the names of the suspects as Ogechukwu Uzoh, Ogechukwu Nnadi, Ugwuoke Obiora, Okwuosa Anthony, Chukwudi Enete, David Elvis Aja and Amobi Nnamchi.
“These are the seven persons charged for murder; aside the killing of the CP, they also confessed to killing other innocent souls and several acts of criminality”, he added.
The police boss, however, declined giving further details on the arrest, as well as what could have led to the police chief’s murder.
On the murder of several policemen by the Ombatse militia group in Nasarawa State, the IGP said the matter was still under investigation, stressing that “what happened there is condemnable by any reasonable person; after investigation, we will be able to brief the press adequately”.
Earlier, the IGP, who commissioned a medical clinic at the Enugu State Police Headquarters, commended the media for their partnership role with the police.
He said several of such clinics were due to be commissioned in the South-East zone of the country.
