The Enugu State Police Command has arraigned one Tsehemba Joshua, a 30-Year-Old Male Suspect, for alleged armed robbery and murder of a 19-Year-Old Scrap Scavenger, Yusuf Ibrahim.

The Arraignment of the suspect and his remand in a custodian centre by a magistrate court was confirmed in a statement on Monday by the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Enugu State Command, DSP Daniel Ndukwe.

Joshua was accused of conspiring with two accomplices, currently at large, to rob and strangle the victim.

The suspect was arrested by operatives from the Udenu Police Division of the Command following a community alert regarding a shallow grave discovered in a bush at Ojo River in Ogbodu-Aba, Obollo Community, Udenu LGA.

According to Ndukwe, “The suspect confessed to luring the victim under the pretence of selling a scrap motor vehicle propeller before robbing him of N100,000, strangling and burying his body in a shallow grave, on October 2, 2024.

“After a thorough investigation of the case by the Campus Monitoring/Anti-Cultism Section of the State CID Enugu, the suspect was arraigned and subsequently remanded, pending further court proceedings.”
