SAN FRANCISCO, September 07, (THEWILL) –Â The Imo State Police Command on Thursday paraded five suspects in connection with the murder of a Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Cyriacus Onunkwo.
This comes barely 24 hours after the Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha, confirmed the arrest of two suspects in connection with the murder.
Okorocha, who addressed reporters on Wednesday at the Government House in Owerri, assured residents that his government was working hard to ensure the security of lives and property.
The Catholic priest was kidnapped by some gunmen in Orlu, Imo State in his car on Friday.
He was said to be returning home to organise the funeral of his father when he was abducted at gunpoint.
His remains were later discovered in Omumma, in the Orlu East Local Government Area, LGA, of the state on Saturday.
