The Anambra State Police Command has praised residents for their vigilance and prompt provision of information, noting that such cooperation has significantly enhanced efforts to combat crime across the state.
In a statement made available to journalists on June 15, the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, disclosed that four suspects are currently in police custody in connection with two separate incidents that recently gained attention on social media.
According to the statement, one of the suspects, 33-year-old Ifechukwu Okechukwu, is under investigation for the alleged murder and clandestine burial of his 23-year-old girlfriend in Nkpor. The matter was reportedly brought to the attention of the police by concerned members of the public, leading to the suspect’s arrest. Detectives attached to the State Criminal Investigation Department have since commenced a comprehensive investigation to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the incident and ensure that justice is served.
In a separate case, three suspects Chukwudi Chukwuyere, 40; Chisom Chukwuyere, 30; and Arum Goodluck, 16 years have been arrested over the alleged assault of a 10-year-old boy at Odume Layout, Isiowulu. Police said that during interrogation, Mrs. Chisom Chukwuyere admitted to burning the victim with melted plastic. The child has since received medical treatment, while investigators continue to gather evidence to support prosecution.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu, reaffirmed the Command’s resolve to safeguard lives and property throughout the state. He also encouraged residents to sustain their cooperation with security agencies by promptly reporting suspicious activities through the Command’s emergency lines or the nearest police station.
