The Anambra State Police Command has arrested two suspects linked to the kidnapping and murder of a female bank manager in Onitsha.

The suspects, Monday Egbe, 32, and Kenneth Nnoga, 28, were tracked and arrested on May 28 in a neighbouring state.

Anambra police spokesperson SP Tochukwu Ikenga said on Sunday that the arrests followed a “diligent investigation” by command operatives.

The victim, Ifeoma Onyekwelu, was abducted in December 2024, and her lifeless body was subsequently found on January 13, along Nnobi Road of the state, with her eyes tied.

The kidnappers allegedly collected a ransom of N14m from her family before killing her.

Ikenga said the suspects are now in custody and undergoing interrogation.

“They are giving useful information to help the investigation and lead to the possible arrest of other gang members,” he said.

The Commissioner of Police, Ikioye Orutugu, reaffirmed the command’s commitment to justice, noting that the command would follow up on all cases to a logical conclusion.

“Our duty remains the protection of lives and property across Anambra State,” the police said, assuring the public of relevant updates on the case.
