Police arrest suspected killer of Catholic Priest
Detectives of Nigeria Police Force attached to Benue State Command
have arrested a suspect in connection with the killing of the Catholic
Priest in charge of Otukpo Diocese, the late Fr John Adeyi.
The state Commissioner of Police, Paul Okafor, disclosed this in Abuja, yesterday.
It would be recalled that the Priest was kidnapped and after close to
two months, residents of Otukpa community were last Wednesday thrown
into shocks when they saw the decaying body of the kidnapped clergy.
According to the police Chief, “The situation is that when I assumed
office few days ago, I tried to find out about that matter and I am
impressed so far. Yesterday, we discovered those that are being
suspected within the caucus of that church.
“As at yesterday night, somebody has just been picked up. I want to
make sure I have concrete evidence before I bring an update on the
information.”
