Police has paraded four suspects arrested in connection with the alleged murder of a traditional ruler, Ezeogo Christopher Igboke.
Recall that Ezeogo Igboke was shot dead on February 7, 2023 in his palace at Ezza North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
Parading the suspects at the Police Headquarters Abakaliki, the Police Public Relations Officer in the State, Mrs. Onome Onovwakpoyeya said 30 others who also conspired and took part in the murder were at large and would be arrested.
She gave the names of the suspects as Nnabuike Egede known as Champagne, Chukwudi Aliewa, Obinna Igwe and Okechukwu Nwamgbegbu.
She explained that the suspected hoodlums scaled the fence of the traditional ruler’s Palace and shot him severally while he was resting on a couch.
It was gathered that the suspected murderers were on a revenge mission following alleged killing of one of the gang members terrorizing the community some years ago.
The command has also arrested armed robbery suspects and alleged cultists whose names were given as Ifeanyichukwu Ogele, Chukwunonso Nwali and Emeka Nwokwu.
Some of the suspects confessed to the crime while items allegedly recovered from them include three locally made pistols, two AA live cartridges, six rounds of 9mm live ammunition and a motorcycle.
