The Delta State Police Command has made a major breakthrough in a heartbreaking case, arresting two suspects allegedly involved in the murder of a 17-year-old boy, the only son of a widow in Asaba.
According to police spokesperson DSP Bright Edafe, the suspects were apprehended following an intensive manhunt after the teenager was found dead in his family home last week. The victim, identified as Emmanuel Okafor, was reportedly attacked while his mother was away at work.
"Through credible intelligence and community cooperation, our officers tracked down and arrested two male suspects in their early 20s," DSP Edafe stated. "We recovered weapons and other evidence linking them to the crime."

Sources reveal the murder may have been connected to a land dispute involving the victim's late father's property. The distraught mother, Mrs. Okafor, told reporters through tears: "They've taken everything from me. First my husband, now my only child."
The police have assured the public that a thorough investigation is underway, with more arrests expected. "We understand the community's anger, but we urge everyone to allow the law to take its course," Edafe added.
This tragic case has sparked outrage across Delta State, with women's rights groups calling for justice and better protection for vulnerable families. The suspects are currently being held at the State Criminal Investigation Department and will be charged to court soon.
