Police Recover Another Decomposed Body In Ongoing Investigation Into Murder Syndicate In Edo

The Edo State Police Command has recovered another decomposing body in its ongoing investigation into the murder of commercial motorcycle rider Hamisu Sule and the activities of a suspected criminal syndicate.

The body was recovered on Thursday by operatives of the Violent Crime Response Unit (VCRU) in a bush in Obagie-Nevbosa, bordering the Amagba and Ogheghe communities in Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area of the state.

The Edo State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Eno Ikoedem, who disclosed this in a statement, identified the deceased as 27-year-old Ahkilo Usman, who was allegedly murdered and his body dumped at the location by members of the same criminal syndicate.

The latest recovery, according to the Command, further highlights the gravity of the suspects’ alleged criminal activities and the need to unravel the full extent of their operations.

The Commissioner of Police, CP Patrick Daaor, vowed that the Command will sustain its efforts until the syndicate and other criminal networks threatening the safety of residents are dismantled and those responsible brought to justice.

The Command said the investigation is ongoing and assures the public that no effort will be spared in ensuring that all those involved are brought to justice.

Residents are also urged to remain vigilant and promptly report suspicious activities to the police.
