Both members were arrested after a fierce gun battle with members of the police anti- kidnap gang in Enugu who trailed the suspects to their hideout in the forest.
Ozor and Ngana were said to be members of the banned Oda Nimbo Vigilante Group in the area who had been involved in the kidnap of over 20 persons along the Nsukka- Uzo-Uwani – Onitsha road, in recent times.
They were among about 30 other members of the dreaded group who were being hunted by security agents following the kidnap and murder of Ejiofor, after his relations had paid N2 million ransom for his release.
Enugu State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Superintendent Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed the arrest of the two suspects and consequent discovery of Ejiofor’s remains in the forest, said that earthquake, who hails from Ugwunani village in Aku, Igboetiti Local Government Area of the state, led the police to the shallow grave in the forest where the remains were exhumed.
“Our detectives discovered the shallow grave and the shrine where the gangsters took their victims to at the Aniocha Forest which stretches to Eshi River in Kogi State.
Apart from Ejiofor’s remains, they found several motorcycles of other victims who must have been killed by same members of the vigilante group. Each time they kidnapped their victims, they blamed the action on Fulani herdsmen but it is now clear that the allegations against the Fulani herdsmen were diversionary.
“The forest is popularly known as Malaysia or Ugbo Ekwuru behind the Ugwuijoro Village in Nimbo. Anselem Ngana is from Akpama Nimbo and he was one of those in charge of monitoring Ejifor’s movements for other members of Oda Nimbo Vigilante group.
Earthquake was among those who took him to the bush where he was allegedly murdered instead of the shrine. Over 30 members of the killer gang are still on the run and we are on their hot chase,” he said.
