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 on 12th of June 2025 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.
SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the Police Public Relations Officer, in a press statement, said the Commissioner of Police, CP Ikoiye Orutugu, while frowning at such avoidable and unprofessional behaviour of the security operatives, ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Awka, for a comprehensive investigation.
