Sunday, June 30, 2024 - Operatives of the Edo State Police Command have arrested some members of the Edo State Security Network, ESSN, in connection with the death of one Omobude.
The Commissioner of Police in the State,
Funsho Adegboye, made this known to newsmen in Benin.
Adegboye said the members of the State’s
Security Network were invited by one Hassan Haladu during a fight with the
deceased.
He said the ESSN on arriving at the scene
of the fighting tied the deceased who later died as a result of suffocation.
He added that on receiving the information,
the operatives of the Ikpoba Hill Divisional Headquarters stormed the scene and
arrested six suspects.
The commissioner said the corpse of the
deceased has been deposited at Our Clinic Hospital for autopsy while an
investigation has commenced.
Adegboye also disclosed the arrest of one
Akhere Solomon, an alleged serial killer, who had participated in the recent
secret cult-related killings in the state.
He said the suspect was arrested following
an investigation into a case of alleged murder reported to the command by one
Samuel.
The commissioner stated that the complainant
had petitioned the command of the alleged shooting to death of his brother by
hoodlums suspected to be cultists.
He explained that as a result of the
petition, the operatives of the command swung into action and arrested the
suspect who confessed to being a member of the Eiye secret cult confraternity,
and had participated in the recent secret cult killings in the state.
He said efforts are ongoing to arrest other fleeing members.
