Police Arrest Four Suspects Over Murder Of Retired General In Abuja

The Police Command of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, says it has arrested four suspects in connection with the murder of retired Brigadier General Uwem Harold Udokwere.

This was disclosed by the FCT Commissioner of Police, Beneth Igweh, while parading the suspects as well as others at the FCT Police Command headquarters in Abuja on Monday.

Meanwhile, Igweh has declared two other suspects wanted in connection with the murder and reiterated the efforts of the Command to apprehend them.

He further said that the Command has been able to arrest some wanted notorious kidnappers and their accomplices, one of which is Isah Mohammed, an escapee from Kuje Correctional Center and their chief informant.

The Commissioner lamented that some criminals commit crimes in the FCT and escape to other states, making it difficult for them to get caught.

He, however, said that no matter what, the Command is committed to upholding the highest security standard in the city.

Udokwere was killed during an armed robbery attack on his estate on Saturday morning.
