According to Punch News Imo State Police Command
has arrested a three-man gang that gruesomely murdered 24-year-old final
year civil engineering student of Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Imo
State, Innocent Ndukwe.
Speaking after parading the suspects before journalists yesterday in
Owerri, the Commissioner of Police, CP, Mr. Taiwo Lakanu, disclosed that
soon after slaughtering their hapless victim, the hoodlums stole his
Pathfinder Sports Utility Vehicle with registration number, Lagos KRD
109 BP, two plasma television sets, one home theatre and assorted
personal effects.
“Soon after getting credible information about the heinous act, the
police control room quickly alerted operations of the command and they
immediately searched the entire state.
‘’As a result, the assailants, who tried to escape the eagle-eyed
operatives, were subsequently apprehended along West End-Old Nekede
Road, Owerri, ”the CP said.

According to Mr. Lakanu, the late Ndukwe was found in a pool of his
own blood in a toilet in his residence at 18 Enuwa Street, Egbu, in the
Owerri North Local Government Area.
He gave the names of the all-male suspects who later confessed to the
crime as David Kwaguru, 30, from Sirwo in Langtang North Local
Government Area of Plateau State; Friday Ayuba, 28, a native of Keyelda
in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State and Francis Amos,
23, a native of Pingali in Langtang South Local Government Area also
in Plateau State.
The Imo police boss recalled that his initiative of directing Area
Commanders, Divisional Police Officers, DPOs, and Heads of Departments,
HODs, and other high ranking officers in the state to disseminate their
phone numbers to members of the public for effective communication and
intelligence gathering, had continued to yield fruits and assisted the
Police in clamping down on the suspects.
Lakanu appealed to members of the public to be careful and circumspect in choosing the people they employed as security guards.
“Events have since proved that most security guards often turn
against their masters by collaborating with criminals to deal with them,” the CP said.
May is Soul rest in peace.
