“However, when they got to a quiet part of the route, they kidnapped the victim and abandoned the vehicle, with Reg. No. GDD 250 MU by the roadside.
“The Command upon receipt of the complaint swiftly mobilised operatives to the scene where they cordoned off the area and commenced an intensive search resulting in the arrest of Chisom Honest.
“Chisom Honest then led operatives to the rest of the gang, and the location of the victim’s corpse. The suspects claimed they murdered the victim, using a machete, for refusing to cooperate with them.”
