The Abia State Police Command has freed two suspects,
Chibuike Anibuife , 25, and Jonathan Nwogu, 45, reportedly caught at Osisioma
Junction, Aba, with a corpse of a three- year-old girl.
According to the Police of Public Relations officer
Geoffrey Ogbonna, of the Command’s headquarters in Umuahia said that the
suspects had been thoroughly investigated and found to be innocent.
Ogbonna
said the corpse was genuinely handed over to them by the father of the
deceased for for burial.
The
suspects were apprehended when they were trying to bury the corpse in an
abandoned pit in Osisioma, near Aba.
The
middle-aged suspects are Jonathan Nwogu from Mgboko Umuola in Obingwa Local
Government Area of the state and Chibuike Anubuife from Ezeagu Local Government
Area of Enugu State.
They were
caught at Enyimba filling station near Ariaria International, Aba while trying
to take the girl’s corpse in a sack for burial.
The state’s
Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Mr. Andy Dateer,
had last week paraded the suspects, saying his men on patrol rescued the men
from being lynched by a curious mob at Aba, when the content of the sack was
discovered to be the lifeless body of a child.
