A popular cultist known as Fela, has
been finally arrested over his alleged involvement in the killing of a
National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), member.
The Anti-vice Unit of the Bayelsa Police
Command, has arrested a notorious cultist known as Fela on Monday, over
his alleged involvement in the June 2016 killing of a Nigeria Youth
Service Corps (NYSC) member, James Onuh, in Obele, a suburb of Yenagoa,
the Bayelsa State capital.
Acording to SaharaReporters, Fela who
was also accused of involvement in a separate homicide in another part
of the state capital, was lured out of hiding out by men of the police,
while others claimed he was arrested after investigation into a new cult
killing indicted him, and he confessed to the killing of the Corps
member in June.
When contacted on the development, the
spokesman of the State Police Command, Asimin Butwat, said the matter is
undergoing further investigation.
“Though I can not yet confirm the details, Fela was the one who killed the Corper,” the spokesman stated.
It would be recalled that an NYSC member
serving with the Bayelsa State Ministry of Works, was in June killed by
gunmen in Obele, Bayelsa State.
The burial of the corps member
Onuh, a civil engineering graduate of
the University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Benue State, died when gunmen,
suspected to be cultists, accosted him close to his residence and shot
him at close range.
