Malik Yahya/

Kogi State Commissioner of Police, Ede Ayuba, has disclosed that the killers of the late Innocent Ofodile, owner of popular Chuck’s Supermarket in Lokoja, who was murdered on Lokoja-Abuja Road, had been arrested.

The police boss made this known while addressing newsmen in Lokoja, the state capital, yesterday.

He explained that one Vincent Omogor, who was arrested for kidnapping, confessed that he and his gang members were responsible for the killing of Offodile.

The CP said the gang carried out the killing “on the order of one of his shop attendants, who complained of not being attended to when he approached him for financial assistance when his father died.”

The command also paraded 23 other suspected criminals who were arrested for various offences.

The command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP William Aya, said the suspects were picked from different parts of the state.

The PPRO explained that the suspects were arrested for alleged armed robbery, banditry, kidnapping, and possession of illegal firearms, among other crimes
