The missing nurse was responsible for the care of little Nanenter Yese, who was also declared missing on the same day.
SP Adeh revealed that the victim’s husband later received a ransom demand of N250 million through his wife’s mobile phone. Following a swift investigation, police operatives arrested David Moses, a security guard at the school.
The police spokesperson said the suspect eventually confessed to the crime and revealed that he had conspired with his friend, Sunday Irimiya, who is currently on the run.
“The suspects lured Mrs. Anaene to the school bathroom where they attacked and strangled her. David then took the child from a classroom and they murdered him in the same manner.
“Their bodies were placed in a sack, transported using a scavenger’s cart, and dumped in a canal. The suspect led police to the location, where the remains were recovered,” the PPRO stated.
Efforts are ongoing to apprehend the second suspect, Sunday Irimiya, while the investigation continues.
