Police arrest 8 suspects over murder of six officers in Delta
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) says it has arrested eight
suspects in connection with the murder of its officers who were on a
fact-finding mission in the Ughelli area of Delta state.
In January, gunmen abducted three mobile police officers who
were responding to a distress call, at the Ohoro community in the Ughelli north
LGA of the state.
A few weeks after the incident, some police officers
mobilised to rescue their abducted colleagues, were ambushed and killed around
the Ohoro forest in Ughelli LGA.
In a statement on March 23, Muyiwa Adejobi, force
spokesperson, confirmed that six police officers were slain in the incident,
adding that the bodies had been recovered while the search for another six was
ongoing.
