Police operatives attached to the Onitsha Main Market Police Division, leveraging on the support of some traders, have arrested two suspects allegedly involved in the murder of a 17-year-old boy and recovered one automatic pump-action gun.
Eyewitness account revealed that the suspects who were allegedly security operatives attempting to arrest a suspect started shooting indiscriminately, and regretfully, a bullet hit the innocent boy.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Ikoiye Orutugu, while frowning at the security operatives’ avoidable and unprofessional behaviour, ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Awka, for a comprehensive investigation.
