The Police Command in Benue said it has nabbed one suspect in connection with the gruesome killing of Eunice Aganya, wife of former retired Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), Ibezimako Aganya.
The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Catherine Anene, disclosed this in a statement which was made available to the News Agency of Nigeria in Makurdi on Sunday.
Aghanya, who retired as a DIG, was a former Commissioner of Police in Benue.
Anene said that the Commissioner of Police in Benue, Audu Madaki, had ordered a full scale investigation into the killing by the command’s Criminal Investigation Department.
The CP was quoted in the statement as saying that serious efforts would be made to apprehend the culprits.
He said police received information on Saturday that late Mrs Aganya who resided on Austin Iwar Street, off David Mark Bye-pass, Makurdi, could not be seen by her co-chiefs who had planned to pay a courtesy call on a royal father in Makurdi.
“Police detectives who received this report swiftly moved to her house where she resided alone behind her bakery.
“Her car was seen parked in front of her gate and her fence broken into but her doors were locked.
“The team noticed blood stains on the window of the deceased and curiously broke into the house where they found the lifeless body laying in a pool of blood with a deep cut on the head,” he stated.
The spokesperson said her body had been deposited at Bishop Murray Hospital Morgue, Makurdi.
