Police hunt killers of Anambra couple
The Anambra State Police Command has begun a manhunt for the suspected killers of the couple who were found dead in a car boot along the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway on Wednesday.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Ikenga Tochukwu, said in a statement made available to our correspondent on Wednesday that the police had begun investigation into the incident.
PUNCH Metro learnt that earlier on Wednesday, two lifeless bodies of a man and a woman, with violent marks and gunshot wounds, were discovered in an abandoned vehicle along the expressway.
The two fresh blood-dripping corpses were seen by passers-by at a lonely place along the Tempo Junction, Umunya area of the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway in the early hours of the day. Along with the bodies, some expanded cartridges were also said to have been found at the scene.
The police said they suspected the couple were abandoned at the scene after they had been murdered, noting that the corpses had been recovered and taken to the mortuary for an autopsy.
Tochukwu said, “The operatives have also recovered the car in which the bodies were found, a black Corolla, with registration plate number Lagos AAA 621 EU. The bodies, a poignant reminder of the crime, were then deposited in the morgue and investigations have begun.
“Police personnel attached to the Oyi Division led by the DPO at about 7:30 am today 24/1/2024, have recovered two lifeless bodies abandoned in a car boot along the Enugu – Onitsha Expressway.
Again, cultists write joint letter to Ogun monarch, seek pardon
For the second time in one month, another letter said to have been jointly written by two cult groups, Neo-Black Movement popularly called Aye, and National Association of Airlords, also known as Eiye Confraternity, asking the Akarigbo and paramount ruler of Remoland, in Ogun State, Oba Adewale Babatunde Ajayi, to forgive them of their wrongdoings surfaced on the social media on Wednesday.
The cult groups also in the letter denied involvement in the recent assassination of a high chief of the Akarigbo, Chief Abiodun Folarin, the Basogun of Itunsokun, Sagamu.
Three unknown gunmen who came in a Toyota Camry had on January 8, allegedly snuffed life out the highly revered and popular Chief Folarin.
Some residents of the community had insisted that the High Chief was allegedly killed by the cultists because of the pivotal role he had been playing to rid the town of the menace.
The letter titled, “Letter of Apology” and addressed to the Akarigbo and other traditional rulers and chiefs in Sagamu community, partly reads, “We, the above-named confraternities, wish to apologise again to the Akarigbo and Paramount ruler of Remoland.
“This apology letter is jointly written so as to further assure our king and the entire Sagamu community of our readiness to peacefully co-exist and also abide by the rules and regulations of Sagamu community
“May we also use this medium to let the paramount ruler and other traditional rulers in Remoland know that we know nothing about the killing of Basogun and we condemn the barbaric act in all sincerity. Long may you reign, the Akarigbo of Remoland.”
When PUNCH Metro asked if the palace of Akarigbo had received such a letter, the Baamofin of Remoland, Otunba Bayo Onafuwa, said, “We saw it like everyone else. Can’t verify the genuineness.”
Recall that the two groups in separate viral letters said to have been written in December and pleading for the forgiveness of the paramount ruler and the entire Sagamu community over cult killings of the past had found its way to the social media about two weeks ago.
The groups had promised to cooperate with the community to stop any form of bloodshed and operate according to the rules of the land.
