…As CP BABAJI Orders Discrete Investigations
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arrested the principal suspect, Joseph Mbounu Ifeanyi, ‘m’, age 33 years, in connection with the death of Evelyn Omape Alifia Yakubu, ‘f’ in Lugbe Area of the FCT.
Following a report by one Aduojo Daniel Yakubu, ‘m’ at the Trademore Division Police headquarters, investigative assets of the Command attached to the Division immediately commenced action. Upon visitation, the deceased was found dead in her residence on February 21, 2022. All effort to take the corpse to the Morgue for the necessary actions proved abortive as the family of the deceased insisted on immediately burying the corps due to the state of the body at discovery point.
The preliminary investigations, however, revealed that the principal suspect, Joseph Mbounu Ifeanyi, an Electrical Technician, was last seen with the deceased before the discovery of her death that Joseph actually called to inform the deceased family members of her demise and had since been out of reach until his arrest.
According to the press statement by the FCT Police Command Spokesperson, DSP Josephine Adeh, the case has been absorbed by the State criminal investigations Department (SCID), where Investigation is being intensified and further discoveries would be made public
The Commissioner of Police, FCT Police Command, CP Babaji Sunday, while registering his condolence with the family and friends of the deceased, has called for calm. He assured that no stone would be left unturned in unraveling the cause of death of Evelyn and ensuring that justice is served.
The Command equally enjoined members of the public to disregard misleading reports in some sections of the media, alleging that the Police demanded the sum of three hundred thousand (300,000.00) from the family of the deceased which slowed down investigations into the matter. This report is untrue and unfounded.
Speaking further, the CP Sunday, categorically reiterate the zero tolerance of the Command under his watch, to any form of extortion and called on members of the public not to hesitate in availing the Police with useful and timely information to enable it to detect and prevent crimes in the FCT.
He also calls on residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious or abnormal occurrence to the Police through the following emergency lines: 08032003913, 08061581938, 07057337653 and 08028940883, While the Public Complaint Bureau (PCB) desk could be reached on: 0902 222 2352
