AFTER 14 days of search and rescue operations, the Nigerian Police, Delta State Command has recovered the body of a young commercial motorcyclist, Nasiru Eneojo, from a soak away pit in Agbarha axis of Warri.
Eneojo’s body, already mutilated, was recovered from the soak away pit, following the arrest of another commercial motorcyclist and a Delta State task force officer by the police in the state. It was gathered that the search for the deceased’s whereabouts was zeroed to the two suspects, who are under detention, after Eneojo’s motorcycle was seen with a new rider.
It was leart that residents, who were familiar with the deceased’s motorcycle, sighted it the new rider and alerted the police immediately.
Residents narrated that after much interrogation by the police, the rider disclosed that he had no link to Eneojo’s death but the motorcycle was handed over to him by a Delta Task Force officer.
They added that the suspect was apprehended at his residence by the police immediately, for questioning over the death of Eneojo, who is an indigene of Kogi State.
Pained by the development, the family and Igala community in Delta State have requested the intervention of the State Governor, Sheriff Oborewvori, and the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to ensure justice in the case.
The brother of the deceased, Abraham Thomas, appealed that all suspects linked to Eneojo’s death be unraveled and prosecuted in accordance with the law.
In an open letter to the IGP, the deceased’s brother disclosed that aside from the two suspects in detention, a community chief has also been linked to his death, but the Police officers in Warri have been reluctant to either invite or arrest him.
