The Edo State Security Corps (ESSC) has arrested three suspects for alleged murder and secret burial of one Hannah, an indigene of Kebbi State.

Deputy Corps Commander in charge of operations, Richard Balogun, who disclosed this while parading the suspects in Benin, alleged that the boyfriend of the deceased, identified as Daddy Alli, an indigene of Taraba State, conspired with other suspects to murder and secretly dispose of her corpse.

According to Balogun, the suspects were arrested following an intelligence report by officers of the Ovia North East Local Government Area operations and tactical teams.

He said the suspects transported the deceased’s body to an uncompleted building, where they buried her in an apparent attempt to conceal the death and obstruct any investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Balogun said the suspects have been handed over to the Ekiadolo Police division for further investigation to unravel the circumstances that led to the death of Hannah.

The Deputy Corps Commander, while stating that a suspect, identified as Dada is currently at large, and that officers of the corps are on his trail to apprehend him, said the suspects confessed to the crime.
