The Police in Ebonyi State have arrested a 35 years old man, Vincent Iziogo for allegedlly attempting to murder the 22 years old wife of his younger brother, Ijeoma Iziogo.
Police spokesman, ASP Chris Anyanwu, said the suspect committed the offences at Ette Nkaliki village in Abakaliki Local Government Area.
He said: “The suspect tricked the victim to his room after setting a locally fabricated trap. As soon as she stepped into the assailant’s house, he gripped her neck with the locally fabricated trap and attempted to strangle her”.
“Thereafter, he tied her hands and legs, locked her up in the room thinking her to be dead and bolted away”.
However, as luck may have it, the victim regained consciousness after 5 hours and screamed for assistance”.
According to the spokesman, the suspect proceeded to the House of Peter Okereke, whom he believed to have aided his wife to abscond from his house, and set the house ablaze.
ASP Anyanwu said the suspect will be charged to court for attempted murder and arson as soon as the investigation is completed.
The command also nabbed eight members of the notorious cult group Burkina Faso Confraternity a.k.a BF.
They were arrested on a tip off by men of the Special Anti Robbery Squa (SARS) in a spot at Ishieke, Ebonyi LGA where they converged to introduce their new rookies to all the old members.
Among those arrested include one Abidakun Segun from Akure, Ondo State, a 28 yrs Economics student of the Ebonyi State University (EBSU) work and study programme, who have spent nine years in the university without graduating.
