The police have reportedly arrested two persons, including the Bayelsa State sender of the Beretta pistol and four rounds of ammunition linked to the killing of 28-year-old Oghenemine Ogidi by ASP Nuhu Usman in Effurun, Delta State.
A source who spoke with Vanguard said the two suspects were brought to the Effurun Area Command under the Delta State Police Command on Wednesday night.
The arrests are said to be part of ongoing investigations aimed at apprehending all persons connected with the movement of the gun and ammunition, as well as Ogidi’s death.
Although police authorities had yet to officially comment on the development, a source told Vanguard that one of the suspects arrested was the person who allegedly sent the gun through a transport company from Yenagoa to Effurun.
The source said, “It’s confirmed. They just brought in two suspects Wednesday night.
“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, from where Mine picked it to send to a Sapele owner at the Effurun Motor Park where he was caught and extrajudicially killed by ASP Nuhu and accomplices.”
The source added that it was not yet clear whether the second suspect was the driver who transported the parcel from Yenagoa.
“Like I said, it’s not clear if the other person among the two could be the driver who brought the parcel from Yenagoa. But it’s clear that the sender is among the duo just apprehended. And the trail continues for the other suspects,” the source added.
Naija News recalls that Ogidi was killed in Effurun after being apprehended over a parcel allegedly containing a pistol and ammunition.
ASP Nuhu Usman and other officers linked to the incident had earlier been dismissed by the Nigeria Police Force and are expected to face prosecution.
