FCT Police Arrest Traditional Ruler Over Murder of Officer
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arrested a traditional ruler, Chief Nwosu, over the murder of a police officer, Inspector Emmanuel Okoro.
According to sources, Inspector Okoro was shot and killed by Chief Nwosu's security guards during a dispute over a land issue in the Gwagwalada area of the FCT.
The police said that Chief Nwosu, who is the traditional ruler of the community, had been at loggerheads with the police over the ownership of a piece of land, which he claimed was his ancestral property.
On the day of the incident, Inspector Okoro, who was leading a team of police officers to the area to investigate the dispute, was shot and killed by Chief Nwosu's security guards.
The police said that Chief Nwosu was arrested and taken into custody after a thorough investigation into the incident.
"We have arrested Chief Nwosu and he is currently being detained at our headquarters," said the FCT Police Commissioner, Mr. Bala Ciroma. "We will ensure that he is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for his role in the murder of our officer."
The police also arrested several other suspects, including Chief Nwosu's security guards, who are also being held in custody.
The FCT Police Command has promised to leave no stone unturned in its investigation into the incident and to ensure that justice is served.
"We will not tolerate any form of violence or lawlessness in our society," said Mr. Ciroma. "We will ensure that those responsible for the murder of our officer are brought to book and punished accordingly."
The police have also appealed to the public to come forward with any information that may be useful in the investigation.
"We urge anyone with information about the incident to come forward and assist us in our investigation," said Mr. Ciroma. "We will ensure that their identities are protected and that they are rewarded for their cooperation."
The FCT Police Command has also promised to provide support to the family of the deceased officer and to ensure that they receive justice.
