He was, however, arrested on Sunday by the police, who had been trailing him for months now.

“That day, he also attacked my husband, who tried to intervene. Alabo cut him with the machete too and ran away that Night. Since then, he has not been seen.

“But yesterday, the Azikiwe Police Station called that they have arrested him. Now that he has been arrested, all I want is justice,” Nwagadi confirmed the arrest of the suspect to Punch.

The case has however been transferred from the Azikiwe Police Division to the State Criminal Investigation And Intelligence Department Unit of the Command.
