The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arrested four suspects linked to the murder of retired Brigadier General Uwem Harold Udokwere.
This was announced by the FCT Commissioner of Police, Beneth Igweh, during a press briefing at the Command headquarters in Abuja on Monday, where the suspects were paraded alongside other individuals accused of committing serious crimes.
In his address, Commissioner Igweh also declared two suspects wanted in connection with Udokwere’s murder and emphasized the Command’s ongoing efforts to apprehend them.
He highlighted the successful arrest of several notorious kidnappers and their accomplices, including Isah Mohammed, an escapee from Kuje Correctional Center, and their chief informant.
Commissioner Igweh expressed concern over the challenge posed by criminals who commit offenses in the FCT and then flee to other states, complicating their capture.
Despite these challenges, he reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to maintaining the highest security standards in the city.
According to a previous statement from the FCT Police Command, Brigadier General Udokwere was killed during an armed robbery attack on his estate on Saturday morning.
The incident has heightened security concerns and spurred intensified police efforts to bring the perpetrators to justice
