Anambra State Police Command has paraded one Ernest Okoye, another suspected master mind in the gruesome murder of former President General of Nimo Community in Njikoka Local Government Area Chief Frank Anthony Igboka.
Recall that the ABS, exclusively reported last Friday the arrest of this second kingpin by the State Police Command.
Briefing the press at the Command Headquarters in Amawbia, the Commissioner of Police, Mr Mustapha Dandaura, said the suspect, was traced to and arrested in his hideout at the old INEC Road in Awka.
According to Mr Dandaura, the thirty four year old suspect, who hails from Obosi in Idemili North Local Government Area, was initially concealed and later mentioned by the first suspect following a discreet investigation.
He revealed that the suspect upon interrogation, confessed to being among the gang members that shot and killed the late Chief Igboka adding that he is assisting the police with useful information that could lead to unveiling the circumstances surrounding the incident so as to arrest other fleeing accomplices.
The Commissioner of Police commended Governor Willie Obiano for his assistance attributing the overall success of the operation to the Governor’s doggedness in crime fighting.
He also appreciated the citizenry and urged them to be security conscious at all times even as he affirmed that community policing remains the ultimate solution to protection of life and property .
Mr Dandaura assured Ndi Anambra that the command will not relent in its efforts to ensuring that Anambra remains the safest State in Nigeria.
The suspect, Ernest Okoye while speaking to newsmen said he regretted his involvement in the dastardly act.
It would be recalled that last Monday, the Command paraded one of the kingpins, Chigbo Anaegbu, who actively participated in the dastardly act and declared three others wanted.
