The Imo state police command has taken swift action in response to a disturbing incident, arresting Mr. Ibe Obasi, the proprietor of Our Guest hotel in Umulogho Obowo LGA, on charges of murdering his employee, Ebuka Nwaneri. The arrest comes after reports surfaced detailing a harrowing account of Nwaneri being lured to the hotel's generator house and subsequently tortured to death by Obasi and two accomplices.
Allegedly, the motive behind this heinous act was suspicion of Nwaneri's involvement in the theft of a guest's cellphone. The lifeless body of Nwaneri was discovered and paraded around the community by outraged locals, demanding justice for the deceased. In an official statement released by the state police, it was confirmed that Obasi is in custody and cooperating with authorities, with efforts underway to locate and apprehend the remaining suspects.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Aboki Danjuma, has vowed to ensure a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Nwaneri's death and to ensure that all those responsible face the full consequences of the law.
The Commissioner also urged the community to refrain from vigilantism, assuring them that the police are committed to delivering justice for the victim and his family.
