The Commissioner of Police in Abia State , Mrs Janet Agbede, on Wednesday , paraded two suspected assassins identified as Victor Onyekachi and Emmanuel Okorie .


The CP , in a statement made available to our correspondent, stated that the suspects were “ arrested following a petition by one Mark Ogbonnaya of Amaogudu Ahaba Imenyi in Isuikwuato Local Government Area that he was attacked and robbed of his Samsung Galaxy S 9 plus phone valued N 400, 000 and Infinix phone valued at N 48, 500” .


The complainant also added that N 357, 000 cash was collected from him , while he was forced to make a transfer of N 100, 000 into an account number provided by the suspects , who came in military uniform .


The CP stated that on receiving the complainant the men of the Special Anti- robbery Squad swung into action and arrested the suspects and recovered the two phones .


The suspects, however , confessed that they were hired by a man , identified as Uche, to assassinate the complainant .


One of the suspects said , “ We went to Uche to ask for help but he told us that he had a job for us . That was how he asked us to go and kill Ogbonnaya. He threatened to kill us if we exposed his plans.


“ He gave us guns and military uniform for operation , but when we got to the man’ s house we exposed Uche’ s plans to him because we didn ’ t want to kill him but we collected phones and money from him . ”


Also in the Police custody was a suspected child trafficker identified as Ihechi Ogbonna .
