The Commissioner of Police in Anambra state, Mr Garba Umar, has today unmasked two suspects behind the invasion and massacre of more than 15 worshipers at St. Philip Catholic Church, Ozubulu.
The suspects are:
Prince Charles Obi a.k.a Gozila and
Dickson Nwodi.
Umar made this known during a press briefing at Amawbia near Awka, adding that the two, who are based in South Africa, are currently serving murder sentences in South African prison.
More than 15 persons were killed by gunmen while 12 others were injured during the early morning Sunday mass at the Church on August 6, 2017. He said Obi and Nwodi who hailed from Nnobi and Oba communities of Anambra state respectively, had mandated one Quintus Anayo, also based in South Africa, to inform Ozubulu elders that they were behind the invasion. The commissioner said that the account on Anayo was in line with the investigation of police into the matter.
He said that already police had established contact with Interpol on the need to deport the suspects from South Africa to Nigeria.
He said that police in the state were already intensifying arrangements to arraign the three suspects earlier arrested in connection with the killings within the week. Umar thanked the public for the information to which he attributed the successes already recorded by police in the investigations.
