The Edo State Police Command has recovered another decomposing body in furtherance of its investigation into the murder of commercial motorcycle rider, Hamisu Sule.
The deceased has been identified as Ahkilo Usman, aged 27 years, according to a statement by the ASP Eno Ikoedem, Police Public Relations Officer, Edo State Command.
Operatives of the Violent Crime Response Unit (VCRU) recovered the body on Friday at Obagie-Nevbosa, bordering the Amagba and Ogheghe Communities in Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area.
The police said the victim was murdered and dumped in a bush by the same criminal syndicate linked to the killing of Sule.
According to the Command, the latest recovery underscores the gravity of the criminal activities of the suspects and its determination to uncover the full extent of their operations.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Patrick Daaor, has vowed that he will not relent until the syndicate and every criminal network threatening the safety of Edo residents are completely crushed and justice served.
Investigation is ongoing, and the Command assured the public that no effort will be spared in bringing all those involved to justice.
Residents were encouraged to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to the police.
