The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Suleiman Abba, has commended
Police Intelligence Operatives for the arrest of a wanted murder suspect in the
United Kingdom, Jeffery Azuka Okafor ‘m’ aged 23yrs, who fled to Nigeria after
the alleged murder of Carl Beatson Asiedu on 1st August, 2009 in London.
He was arrested on 23rd September, 2014 in Asaba, Delta State, by
the police operatives.
According to a press release signed by the Force Public Relations
Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu, the IG praised the high level of Professionalism
displayed by the Police operatives as well as the effective deployment of the
Forces’ high tech-equipment in tracking the suspect.
He added that despite the fugitive’s frequent change of identity
and locations, the operatives were still able to keep a tab on him without
raising any suspicion.
All the necessary required procedures to enable the handover of
the fugitive to the UK Authorities have already been concluded.
The IG further assures the International law enforcement
communities that the Nigeria Police Force will always ensure that all fugitives
that show up in Nigeria would be apprehended upon request and turned over
accordingly.
