FCT police arrests 3 suspects in Abuja doctor and friend’s homicide case

The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has arrested three suspects in connection with the murder of an Abuja doctor, Obisike Ibe, and his friend, Ezekiel Edoja.

The Commissioner of Police in charge of FCT, Babaji Sunday, said this at a news conference on Tuesday in Abuja.

He said that Ibe, a staff member of Zenith Lab and Kidney Centre, Abuja and his friend, Ezekiel Edoja, both of House D2, 24 Street, Games Village Estate, Abuja, were allegedly murdered by the suspects.

Sunday said that the command had, since the receipt of the information, deposited the corpse of the Abuja doctor at the morgue and embarked on an aggressive manhunt, amidst painstaking investigations.

He said that the murderers also whisked away an envelope containing about $1,000, the mobile phone of the doctor, his ATM card and a vehicle.

In addition to that, Ibe’s ATM card was used to withdraw money to the tune of N2 million from the deceased account on December 13, 2021.

The CP said that the three suspects arrested, upon interrogation, confessed to having plotted and committed the offence.
