The Eastern South Regional Police Command has arrested a 26-year-old Nigerian national, Victor Benjamin Fejemirokum, who is alleged to be on the run after reportedly killing a woman and her daughter in Nigeria.
According to police sources, the arrest followed the interception of a viral video circulating on social media, in which the suspect was accused of abducting and murdering a woman said to be an official of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and her young daughter in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The Nigerian Police had declared the suspect wanted, prompting him to flee to Ghana. Investigations reveal that Fejemirokum sought refuge with friends at Akyem Wenchi, a suburb of Akwatia, in the Eastern Region.
Upon receiving intelligence on his hideout, the Eastern South Regional Police Command launched an intelligence-led operation that led to his swift arrest.
Police say the suspect is currently in custody as processes are underway to hand him over to Nigerian authorities for further investigations.
The Command has urged the public to promptly report any suspicious persons or activities in their communities, assuring that sustained operations are in place to clamp down on criminal activity within the region.
