Four people have been taken into custody by the Ebonyi State Police Command in relation to the reported kidnapping and murder of Magnus Okeke, a student at the state’s Alex-Ekwueme Federal University in the Ikwo Local Government Area.

DSP Joshua Ukandu, a spokesman for the Command, verified the arrest in Abakaliki on Thursday.

“Yes, we have commenced an investigation on the matter, and four persons have so far been arrested in connection with the heinous crime.

“The victim’s body has been recovered and taken to the mortuary. Investigation is ongoing to unravel the death. Four suspects have been arrested so far,” he said

The university’s management referred to Okeke’s kidnapping and murder as wicked in a statement made by Mr. Elom Iyke Ubochi, the public relations officer.

According to Ubochi, on June 1, 2024, Okeke, a Department of Accountancy extra-year student, was kidnapped.

“Yes, the security agencies have apprehended some of those alleged to be involved in the abduction and did everything possible to rescue him alive.

“Unfortunately, on Monday, June 17, the decomposing body of Okeke was painfully recovered under the bridge at Ako stream in Nwakpu village, on Ikwo/Abakaliki Road,” he said.

The institution asked anyone with relevant information to come forward and help the authorities with the inquiry.
