The police in Enugu State have arrested two men, Onyekachi Idoko and Felix Akor, for alleged murder of three persons in Udenu Local Government Area of the state.

The spokesperson of the command, ASP Ebere Amaraizu, disclosed this in a statement issued on Tuesday in Enugu.

Amaraizu said the two suspects were arrested following a well-coordinated operation by the police.

He said Idoko of Ifuroka-Amalla community in Udenu council area was nabbed by police operatives of the Udenu Division on a tip-off.

The spokesman said the murder suspect, who fled after the offence, was arrested on Sept. 16 at Inyi community in Igboeze North Local Government Area of the state.

He said the suspect alongside others murdered one Onyemaechi Eze on July 5 and escaped.

“The suspect is now helping the operatives in their investigations as he had given insight into how he and his gang allegedly collected N200,000 from the native doctor, Felix Akor, who hired them to murder the victim,’’ he said.

The police spokesman said that both suspects had been helping operatives in their investigations. (NAN)
