Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have arrested two principal suspects (names withheld) involved in last Thursday’s gruesome murder of 16 travelling hunters of Kano State at Uromi in Esan Northeast Local Government Area of Edo State.
The two suspects, according to security sources, were arrested in Uromi following credible intelligence as security agencies are still hunting for other key suspects involved in the sad incident.
The two principal suspects were transferred to Abuja for further interrogation and prosecution by the relevant authorities.
Edo Governor Monday Okpebholo, on Monday in Kano State, during a condolence visit, revealed that fourteen suspects had already been arrested in connection with the dastardly killings.
Okpebholo, who visited Kano State to condole with the government and families of the victims, vowed that justice would be served and those involved in the killings would be brought to justice.
Edo Governor also assured families of the victims that adequate compensations would be paid to them.
