A native doctor and his gang members who allegedly killed a female police inspector, Felicia Nwagbara, had been arrested in Imo State.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, Micheal Abattam, on Thursday, said the late inspector disappeared since 2017.
Abattam said suspects who are IPOB members, were nabbed at Agwa, in the Oguta Local Government Area of the state by operatives of the tactical units of the command.
He accused the gang of collaborating with criminals and kidnappers who had been attacking the state.
Abattam gave the names of the suspects as Casmire Mgbugha, 53; Hycent Chimezie, 30; Hycent, 28; Hycent Ifesinachi, 26; Hycent Chimobi, 23; Chukwuemeka Wisdom, 22; and Nnadike Clifford, 72.
He said items recovered from terror camp, were one Toyota Camry, with number plate, AKD 73 BF Lagos; one live python; eight locally-made pistols; 18 rounds of live cartridges; one Biafra flag; a pair of police camouflage uniform belonging to late Inspector Felicia Nwagbara, who had been declared missing since 2017 by the police authorities.
“Amazingly, while coming out of the terror camp, one of the suspects, Hycent Chimezie, for the second time, attempted escaping and was maimed in the leg.
“In the course of interrogation, the suspects confessed to have murdered late Inspector Felicia Nwagbara, who was the second wife of one of the suspects — Casmire Mgbugba. They further stated that they were the manufacturers of the locally-made guns recovered from them. They said apart from using them to perpetrate crimes, they sell to robbers and kidnappers.”
