Police have arrested two suspects, including the Bayelsa-based sender of the Beretta pistol and four rounds of ammunition connected to the killing of Oghenemine Ogidi by ASP Nuhu Usman in Effurun, Delta State.
Sources revealed that the suspects were transferred to the Effurun Area Command of the Delta State Police Command on Wednesday night as investigations continue into those linked to the movement of the firearm and the death of the 28-year-old victim.
Although the police authorities are yet to officially comment on the arrests, a source disclosed that one of the suspects was the individual who allegedly sent the gun through a transport company from Yenagoa to Effurun.
According to the source, Oghenemine had reportedly picked up the parcel to deliver it to the owner in Sapele before he was allegedly extrajudicially killed by ASP Nuhu and others at the Effurun Motor Park.
“It’s confirmed. They just brought in two suspects Wednesday night,” the source said.
“It’s not been announced who is who yet, but I can tell you for free that one of them is the person who sent the gun through a transport line from Yenagoa to Effurun.”
The source added that investigators are still trying to determine whether the second suspect is the driver who transported the parcel from Yenagoa, while efforts continue to track down other individuals linked to the case.
