“On sighting the police, the passenger alighted from the motorcycle and ran into a nearby bush.

 

 

“The police gave him a hot chase, which led to the arrest of the suspect, Mamus Obine, aged 18years, from Agbarho, in the Ughelli North LGA of Delta State.”

He said preliminary investigation later revealed that the suspect operated with two other suspects, identified as Austin and Thankgod

 

 

The police PRO explained that the suspect confessed that he was after one Kingsley, whom he had issues of money-sharing with after a man was defrauded of N800,000 through Internet fraud.
