On Friday, unidentified gunmen,
suspected to be assassins, invaded Onyima's residence, shooting him in the
bathroom while he was taking a bath and inflicting him with several machete
cuts.
While the police have not
disclosed the number of individuals arrested, Ikenga mentioned that the arrests
were based on intelligence gathering initiated by the state Commissioner of
Police, Aderemi Adeoye. He assured that the police are diligently working on
extracting valuable information from the suspects, with plans to make their
identities public at an appropriate time.
Governor Prof. Chukwuma Soludo
condemned the killing and urged state security agencies to take immediate and
decisive action to apprehend the culprits. The governor emphasized the
importance of swift prosecution to deter future incidents.
According to a police source,
one of the arrested suspects is a tenant of the deceased who was found in
possession of Onyima's phones, ATM cards, gun, and other items, attempting to
withdraw money from the late Onyima’s account.
The suspects are currently
undergoing interrogation at the divisional police station in Ogidi. Further
details will be provided in a forthcoming press briefing by the Anambra State
Police Command.
