Twelve suspected cultists have been arrested by the Delta State Police Command for allegedly stabbing a 19-year old OND graduate of Electrical Electronics, Desmond Oworu to death.
The victim, Desmond Oworu, son of a female Police Officer working in Area Command, Warri was allegedly stabbed by the suspects at Oki Junction along Esisi Road, Okere in Warri February 26.
Desmond’s problem started when he reportedly told one of the cultists to stop molesting a boy in the Okere area of Warri.
Infuriated by the intervention of Desmond, an industrial training student, the cultists started threatening him, vowing to kill him, even though his mother is a Police Officer.
The late Desmond who did his OND programme at Delta State Polytechnic, Oghara, earlier informed his mother of the threat and mentioned three suspects: Goddy, Ekene and Naza.
Our Senior Correspondent reports that 10 of the suspects were arrested at Asaba, while the remaining two: Ekene and Naza were apprehended in Warri.
The Divisional Police Officer of ‘B’ Division in Warri, CSP Anetie Eyoh confirmed the incident and noted that the case has been transferred to the Delta State Police headquarters, Asaba for further investigation.
