Killers Of Retired General Murdered During Robbery In Abuja Arrested
Operatives of the Nigeria Police have arrested four suspects in connection with the death of the national chairman, Retired Members of the Nigerian Armed Forces, Brig. Gen. Harold Udokwere.
After the incident, the FCT Commissioner of Police, Bennett Igweh, ordered a probe into the general’s death.
In a recent development, it was gathered from a police document that the suspects were arrested at different locations within the Apo area of the FCT by operatives from the Utako division.
The document identified the suspects as Ibrahim Rabiu, Nafiu Jamil, Aliyu Abdullahi and Mohammed Nuhu.
The document read in part, “At Kabusa and Pigbakasa Apo in FCT, Abuja Utako Div. operatives led by Csp Victor O Godfrey arrested four suspects who robbed and murdered a retired Brigadier General, Gen.
