Imo Police Arrest Three Suspects Over Alleged Murder Of Businessman After N10 Million Ransome

Imo State Police Command has solved the puzzle surrounding the recent murder of an Imo born businessman,  Ikechukwu Ebelebe, allegedly perpetrated by kidnappers, as three suspects have been arrested by the operatives of the Command’s Tactical team.

The Imo State Commissioner of Police, CP Mohammed Ahmed Barde, through the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP, Henry Okoye, confirmed the arrest to NewsTrack Nigeria (newstrack.com.ng), in a telephone conversation.

He confirmed that said daredevil criminals abducted the victim at his hometown in Owerre-Akokwa, Ideato-North Local Government Area of the state.

The CP further said the slain businessman was also robbed of his Toyota RAV4 SUV in front of his residence by robbers. 

He said despite collecting a N10 million ransom, the kidnappers killed him and dumped his corpse at the Ajali river bank in Anambra State.

“Through credible intelligence gathering, one Chinedu Christian Ejezie aka “Holy Condom” and Okechukwu Ibemere ‘m’, both of Owerri-Akokwa in Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State, were arrested at Ebute Ero Market in Idumota LGA of Lagos State. 

“Both suspects confessed to the crime, which led to the subsequent arrest of their gang member, Emmanuel Ubah,” he said.

He said five sim cards of different networks used by the suspects to negotiate and collect the ransom were recovered as exhibits.
