The officers went missing in Ohoro Forest, Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State. Another six were gruesomely murdered the same day after they were ambushed during a rescue mission of their colleagues.
“Up till now, according to the provisions of the law, we are still searching for the six persons. Nobody can declare them dead. Hopefully, we are going to get them,” Force spokesman Muyiwa Adejobi said on Channels Television.
“We did not come out to say it on time because we were actually waiting to get the corpses – we were able to recover six,” he said.
Although some persons were arrested in connection with the officers’ murder, Adejobi said the number has increased since then.
“We have been able to arrest nine of them. We first arrested five of them. Last week, we made additional arrests of three and I think on Sunday, we arrested another one,” the police spokesman added.
“These are suspects directly involved in the killing, not just any Tom, Dick and Harry or passersby.”
