One arrested over Alleged killing of controversial Buhari supporter in Anambra

Police in Anambra State have arrested one Chiadiobi, an indigene of Enugu State and a butcher at Tarzan market, Nkpor, Anambra State, over the killing of Mr Kenechukwu Okeke, a supporter of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Okeke, as reported by his wife, Mrs Blessing Odinakachi, was allegedly killed in October by Chiadiobi, a former tenant of his, after a disagreement.

The Anambra State Police Command’s Spokesperson, DSP Toochukwu Ikenga confirmed the arrest of Chiadiobi on Friday.

The arrest came barely 24 hours after DAILY POST reported the gruesome murder of the deceased.

Ikenga who spoke to the press said the state Police Commissioner, Mr Echeng Eworo gave an order for the suspect to be arrested and questioned over the death of Okeke.

Although details of the arrest are still sketchy, Ikenga said the suspect had discarded his phone number and gone into hiding when it dawned on him that the killing of Okeke had become public but he was later smoked out by police operatives and is now helping police authorities with its investigations.
