Governor Willie Obiano on Tuesday handed a cash reward of N6 million to Mustapha Dandaura, Commissioner of Police in Anambra State, for operatives and informants who aided the arrest of two suspected killers.
A statement issued by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Haruna Mohammed, said the informants/operatives were those who gave information which led to the arrest of a suspect in the alleged murder of Chief Frank Igboka, President General of Nimo community.
Mohammed explained that the informant for Igboka would receive N5 million, while another informant that led to the arrest of Ikechukwu Udensi, aka Ikanda, suspected for the killing of one Ndubuisi Nwokolo in Onitsha, would receive N1 million.
Igboka was shot dead at Nimo on April 16, 2019, while Udensi, who was arrested about three months ago, was declared wanted over the murder of Nwokolo since last year.
Dandaura, while handing over the money, noted that Obiano’s gesture was a huge moral booster to security agents in crime fighting.
The police chief thanked Obiano for fulfilling his promise and restated the Command’s readiness to sustain its onslaught against crimes and criminalities in the State.
