The Edo State Police Command has reported the recovery of another decomposed body as part of an ongoing investigation tied to a suspected murder syndicate. The body, identified as 27-year-old Ahkilo Usman, was discovered by the Violent Crime Response Unit (VCRU) in a bush near Obagie-Nevbosa, which borders the Amagba and Ogheghe communities in the Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area.
This recovery is linked to the investigation surrounding the murder of a commercial motorcycle rider named Hamisu Sule. According to police allegations, Usman’s body was dumped at the site by individuals connected to the same criminal network suspected of Sule’s murder.
The Commissioner of Police, Patrick Daaor, emphasized the ongoing commitment of the Command to dismantle this syndicate and other criminal groups that threaten local safety. Investigations are continuing, and the police have reassured the public of their determination to bring all involved to justice. Residents have also been urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities.
