Suspected killer of 2-year-old Delta boy has been arrested- Delta State Police


Ivan Omhonrina, a two-year-old boy, was killed two weeks ago, and the Delta State Police Command said on Tuesday that the suspect had been detained.

According to reports, Omhonrina was killed at Okpanam in the Delta State local government area of Oshimili North during an operation by agents of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency.

According to the NDLEA, the incident happened when its men were conducting a raid on a nearby drug den.

The suspect was already in jail, according to DSP Bright Edafe, the state police public relations officer, who informed journalists in Asaba, the state's capital.

He did not, however, reveal who the suspect was.

"We have the guy in custody who is suspected of killing the two-year-old boy a few weeks ago. He will face charges in court as soon as the inquiry is finished, he merely stated.

In the meantime, the command paraded Ojokor Jeffrey, 22, and eight other kidnappers on Tuesday.

Edafe described the suspects as the ones terrorising the Warri, Sapele, and Uvwie areas of the state while speaking at the command's headquarters in Asaba, the state capital.

He stated, "The DPO Owvian Aladja Division led a surveillance team to the scrap yard in Ekpan and arrested one Ojokor Jeffrey, 22, who is the leader of the criminal gang terrorising the Warri-Sapele districts. This was done in response to credible intelligence acquired on a criminal gang.

Musa Amadu (27), Abu Mohammed (30), Mohammed Saidu (23), Anas Idris (20), Abubakar Muktar (23) and Kamilu Alasa (21) were all arrested as a result of further questioning of the suspect.

The PPRO reported that two locally built double barrel pistols and 11 live cartridges were among the goods seized from the accused.

Two individuals who stole a Hilux van from the Ministry of Lands and Infrastructure but belonged to the Ondo State Government were also paraded.

The car was taken from its parking spot in Owo town, Ondo State, according to the police spokesman. He also noted that the car had been recovered and the matter would be given to the Ondo State Police Command.

Edafe claims that on July 30, 2023, Ondo State sent a distress call to the command, and it was assumed that the car was already in Delta State.

He claimed that the state CP swiftly assigned the CP-Decoy Squad to start an inquiry guided by information.

The DPO Patani informed the police patrol unit stationed on the Patani motorway where the vehicle was intercepted, according to him, after the team followed the car to Patani.

He said that two suspects, Tochukwu Nnamani (22) and Chukwuma Unue (38), were detained after the car with the registration plate OD 231 A10 was found and retrieved.

According to him, the suspects said that they received the vehicle from one Efe in Ughelli and were to give it to one Chief Ojukwu in Mbaima town in Rivers State.
