Matilda Omonaiye/

Enugu State Police Command has arrested one of the suspects allegedly involved in the murder of the traditional ruler of Ogbozinne community in Nkanu West Local Government of the state.

The Spokesman of the command, SP Ebere Amaraizu, disclosed this in a statement today in Enugu.

The monarch, Igwe Stephen Nwatu, was murdered on June 11 in the community over a protracted town union leadership, which had been on for 10 years.

Over 200 houses were allegedly razed by a group in the community loyal to the monarch when he was murdered.

Amaraizu said the suspect “believed to have participated actively in the act” was nabbed by police operatives two days ago.

“The suspect is helping the police in its investigations and the command has intensified manhunt for other suspects,” he added.
