The Delta State Police Command has arrested one suspect and launched a manhunt for two others over the death of a Deputy Director in the state Ministry of Secondary Education, Unity Ekpevbughe Adeda.
Adeda reportedly died following an incident at the office of the Commissioner for Secondary Education, Kingsley Ashibogwu, in Asaba.
The police identified the arrested suspect as Lucky Adoh, while Enos Attah and Oputa Okestine were said to be fleeing.
The Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, Bright Edafe, disclosed this in a statement on Friday, saying the command was aware of reports surrounding Adeda’s death.
The Commissioner of Police, Delta State Command, Samuel Erale, subsequently ordered the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation Department to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident and Adeda’s subsequent death.
The command assured the deceased’s family and members of the public that it would not shield anyone found culpable.
