A suspect arrested by the Edo State Police has confessed how Uwaila Omozuwa was gruesomely murdered at a church in Benin City.
Collins Ujegbulem, one of six suspects paraded by the Edo State Police Command claimed a lady, Mary Adeh, paid them the sum of N1 million to kill the student for rituals.
He also said he was the one who hit Uwa with a fire extinguisher that led to her eventual death.
Narrating the ordeal, he said four of the assailants were inside the church, while he stood at the entrance on the look out for anyone, so he could inform the others.
He said Nelson, one of the gang members hit Uwa on the neck with a plank.
According to him, Uwa fell and kicked a table, as she tried to get back up, she was hit again. Seeing her down, he carried a fire extinguisher found inside the church and hit her on the head.
Uwa’s blood was cleaned with her handkerchief and given to Mary, the lady who had set them on the mission.
Edo State Commissioner of Police, Johnson Kokumo, disclosed how the police had trapped and arrested the suspects by tracing Uwa’s mobile phone to one Osabohein Nosa, a phone repairer at Agbor park in Benin City who had bought the phone for the sum of N17,000.
Nosa then took the police to arrest the principal suspect, Collins Ujegbulem.
