A statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer, Tochukwu Ikenga said the suspect was arrested on 4th September 2026 following credible and actionable information received by the Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect allegedly gained access to the building by climbing the fence with the aid of a ladder, with the initial intention of sexually assaulting the victim. &nbsp;According to his confessional statement to the police, a struggle ensued between him and the deceased, during which he allegedly used a knife to stab her, leading to her death on 14th June 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The suspect has also allegedly made revelations linking him to other similar incidents within the community. The release explained that these claims are currently being subjected to thorough investigation and corroboration by the Command. The Command therefore clarified that the landlord who was earlier suspected in connection with the incident has been exonerated following the ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Members of the public have been urged to disregard any earlier suspicion against him. The suspect remains in police custody as investigation continues, particularly into his alleged involvement in other related criminal incidents. The Commissioner of Police, Anambra State Command, Nnanna&nbsp; Ama, has commended the people of Alor for their cooperation, patience and support throughout the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Commissioner reiterated that the Command will continue to pursue every credible lead in the investigation and ensure that anyone found culpable is brought to justice in accordance with the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>REPORTER : UCHE NDEKE The Anambra State Police Command has arrested a 26-year-old man, Kosisochukwu Ibekwe, in connection [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/purityfm1025.net.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/purityfm1025.net.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/purityfm1025.net.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purityfm1025.net.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purityfm1025.net.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/purityfm1025.net.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":138,"href":"https:\/\/purityfm1025.net.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136\/revisions\/138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/purityfm1025.net.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purityfm1025.net.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purityfm1025.net.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
