Police in Imo State have detained a 22-year-old man in connection with the alleged cult-related killing of Okeke Nnamdi in Owerri.
State police spokesperson Henry Okoye identified the suspect as Bright Adiene and said the killing was reported on Saturday. Police are also seeking a person identified as Anyima, who they say is connected to the incident. Investigators are working to establish the circumstances of the killing and identify everyone involved.
Following the incident, Imo State Commissioner of Police Audu Bosso met area commanders, divisional police officers and tactical team commanders on Sunday to review security measures. Operational commanders were directed to increase intelligence-led operations, raid identified criminal hideouts, strengthen patrols in security hotspots and respond quickly to emerging threats.
Bosso also instructed officers to cooperate more closely with community leaders, youth groups and other stakeholders to improve intelligence gathering and prevent further violence. He urged parents and guardians to monitor their children’s activities and associations, while asking residents to remain calm and report information that could assist the investigation.
Police said anyone found involved in cult-related violence would be prosecuted.
