One of the prime
suspects in the celebrated ritual murder of two school kids of same
parents in Abayioma Village near Aba, the commercial capital of Abia
State. One of the two earlier arrested suspects has been charged to
court.
The suspect whose name was simply given as Chinedu was said to be the
mastermind of the ritual murder of Prince Nwoha (6) and Kenneth Nwoha
(4) who were killed inside a palm plantation on June 11, on their way to
school.
Following the kids’ murder, two persons, Chibuike (who gave himself up
after the incident) and Chimezie who the former implicated, were
arrested.
In the cause of investigation, however, the duo pointed the finger at
Chinedu who was then at large as being in the know of what happened to
the boys.
It was gathered that one of the arrested men was charged to court for
abduction and murder while the second person was kept in prison custody
to assist the police in tracking down the prime suspect.
Chinedu, who according to Daily Sun findings had been involved in high
profile criminal activities in the area since the kidnap era, was said
to be living in Abayioma Village before he went to live in a nearby
village called Umuafor.
From his new abode, he was reported to always make forays into his
former place of residence to carry out his nefarious activities after
which he would return to base.
As police spread their tentacles to apprehend the suspect who was also
believed to be behind the theft in the house of the father of the slain
kids when the man and his household went home to bury the boys, he
walked into a well laid trap over the weekend at Abayioma and was
subsequently arrested.
Chinedu was first taken to Umuobiakwa (Eastern Ngwa) Police Station
before being transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department
(SCID), Umuahia.
When contacted, the Abia State PPRO, Ezekiel Onyeike, confirmed the
arrest and promised that all those arrested in connection with the
incident would soon be charged to court.
