The Plateau State Police Command has paraded a 20-year-old man identified as Moses Okon, who was arrested over the brutal murder of Jennifer Anthony, a 300 level student of the University of Jos for ritual.
The deceased was lured into a hotel by the suspect said to be her boyfriend, who is also a student of Zoology department University of Jos, where she was brutally murdered.
The suspect was said to have drugged the lady and used various instruments to remove his eyes and other vital parts of her body before he bolted away from the hotel after the dastardly act.
Speaking with newsmen shortly after parading the suspect, Plateau State Commissioner of Police Mr Batholomew Onyeka, disclosed that the “suspected killer of Miss Jenifer Anthony whose lifeless body was found mutilated on a new year day at Domus Pacis Guest House, Jos by a man named Moses Oko has been apprehended” in Benue State.
“The man aged 20 years, suspected to be her boyfriend fled after committing the crime, the Command in a bid to arrest the perpetrator launched an aggressive manhunt on the suspect and tactically trailed him to Benue State where he was arrested by hawked-eye police operatives of the Command”
The CP said the suspect will be arraigned in court as soon as the investigation is completed and urged members of the public who still have more information on how the incident happened to contact the command.
