The Ghanaian police have arrested one Victor Benjamin Fajemirokun, a Nigerian wanted in connection with the killing of a Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) official and her daughter in Ogun state.
OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA (OTN) News reports that the regional commander for The Eastern South Regional Police Command, George Ohene-Boadi, who spoke at a press conference, said the 36-year-old suspect fled to Ghana to evade arrest by the Nigerian security officials.
He revealed that the police acted after intercepting a video alleging that Fajemirokun had abducted and killed Lasisi Funmilayo, an FRSC staff member, and her daughter, Sewa, in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital.
“The suspect was wanted by the Nigerian police, but he ran to Ghana to hide with his friends,” Ohene-Boadi said.
“The Eastern Sahara Regional Police Command, on receipt of the information that the suspect was hiding in his friend’s house at Akutia, quickly deployed an intelligence-led operation to arrest the suspect in his hideout in the Eastern region.
With the arrest of the suspect, who was placed on the wanted list and widely publicized by the media in Nigeria, hopes are now high that he would be handed over to the Nigeria police for justice to be served accordingly.
