The Delta State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of inspector, Obi Abri, for the murder of one Onyeka Ibe at a checkpoint along Ugabolu-Illah Road, in the Asaba.

The Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Edafe Bright, made this known on Wednesday in a series of tweets on his Twitter Page.

In the tweet titled, ‘Alleged murder of one Onyeka Ibe’, Bright wrote,

“The Police inspector has been identified, arrested, paraded and detained.

“The Command assures members of the public and the deceased family of justice.

“An investigation has commenced, and he will be arraigned in court for prosecution.”

Daily Report Nigeria reported earlier that a police officer on Wednesday shot and killed a businessman over N100 bribe.

It was gathered that Onyeka and his wife were on their way out when some policemen stopped their vehicle at the checkpoint and demanded N100 from Onyeka which he paid.

After he paid the money, Abri approached him again and demanded another money but the 26-year-old refused.

This led to an argument that degenerated and in the process, Abri shot Onyeka in the head.

Following the incident, Angry Youths in their number stormed the state police command headquarters with the corpse of man.

However, Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa has ordered an investigation into the killing of 26-year-old newly-married Onyeka by a policeman.

Okowa, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Olisa Ifeajika, decried the shooting of the deceased when Abri and his colleagues were conducting a stop-and-search operation along the Illah Road.

The governor also appealed to residents not to take laws into their hands but rather allow the police to conduct an in-depth probe into the circumstances that led to the sad incident.
