The Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Nnaghe Obono Itam, has accused some indigenes of the Nibo community of withholding crucial information that could aid in the investigation of the recent killings of 12 individuals.
During a visit to the community on Monday for an on-the-spot assessment, the Commissioner expressed frustration that relatives of the deceased had buried the bodies quickly, hindering potential leads in the investigation.
Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, reaffirmed the commitment of the Anambra State Police Command to solving the case, emphasizing that the burial of evidence and suppression of information by the deceased’s relatives is counterproductive to ongoing investigations.
The police are intensifying efforts to identify and apprehend those responsible for the cult-related killings in Nibo. The Commissioner highlighted that the command is determined to leave no stone unturned in their pursuit of justice.
