Police nab two men for beheading Ebubeagu operative
The police command in Ebonyi has confirmed the arrest of two suspected persons in connection with the killing and beheading of a member of Ebubeagu security outfit in the state.
The victim, Sunday Nwafor, 30, was killed on Saturday night at Ekpelu community in Ikwo local government area.
The suspects stormed his house at night while asleep, shot him dead and cut off his head.
DSP Loveth Odah, the spokeswoman for the command, said in Abakaliki on Monday that two suspects had been nabbed over the incident.
“Yes, the incident occurred in Ikwo local government area; two suspects have been arrested, and investigation is ongoing,” Ms Odah said.
She described the act as barbaric and inhumane.
“This is coming barely two weeks after we recorded the other Ebubeagu incident, in which someone was also killed in this form and half burnt,” she added. “The commissioner of police condemned the killing and vowed to do everything within the ambit of the law to ensure that the remaining perpetrators are brought to book.”
