The Inspector General of Police, Mr Mohammed Abubakar, today said four key suspects had been arrested in connection with the gruesome murder of four students of the University of Port Harcourt at Aluu Community in Rivers.
He said the suspects were caught after they were clearly identified in one of the video clips of the incident posted on the Internet.
He identified Felomo Solomon, Cynthia Chinwo, Oziomo Abajuo and Chigozie Evans as the four key suspects. Click to continue reading.
“Of all the suspects arrested, Alhaji Hassan Welewa, the Traditional Ruler of Allu Community, has been indicted by intelligent information as one of the chief instigator, who encouraged the mob to kill and burn those four innocent young men,’’ he said.
The IG said the police were also looking for the whereabouts of one Coxson Lucky, also known as Bright, who was alleged to be the one the victims went to see with regard to money owed them, who also raised the alarm that the young men were thieves.
A massive deployment of policemen had been made to the area, including detectives to assist the Rivers State Police Command.
“We are investigating every aspect of the killings, including the allegations that some policemen stood idly watching while these hideous act took place’’ the IG concluded.

Thank God for d progress! Lucky or na unlucky idiot pic shld be online so that people will look out for him! He will soon be caught by special Grace of God!! May God rest their soul!
ReplyDeleteNigerian police. Today I stand proud to be under your service, inspite of the appalling facilities provided, you have managed to identify the perpetrators of one of the most heinous crimes our eyes have had the misfortune of witnessing, as you did with our dear Cynthia. Continue to put our government to shame, that with absolutely no training, outdated firearms, under payments, you will heed the cries of Nigerians. A government that allocates the highest part of the budget to security vote and we see nothing.
ReplyDeletePlease just go a step further in releasing pictures of these men who have been arrested, let us see their faces humiliated, cursed and hopeless, as they await the full wrath of the law, the blood of aluu4, and undoubtedly of our God in heaven.
As for bright, you can run but you can never hide. Knowing the fate that was to befall these men, you never spoke up. May your generations be cursed beyond measure. You will wear the mark of sorrow and misery all the days of your life.
God be with us
Amen
DeleteYou are proud of what yeye police force. Didn't u hear the parents say the force stop them when they got to d site , just before the boys were burnt or didn't u hear one of the sisters say Police said burn them alive . They are now forming activity arresting innocent people in Aluu to cover their ass. The police are so ready to shoot innocent people that they want us to believe they couldn't control the mob, I saw a brief protest against abacha in the 90s and within second there was tear gas to dispel the crowd.
DeleteThe police force is a JOKE and this IG is a JOKER and the JOKE is on Nigerians.
Papa in Heaven, assist in this investigation. This killing IS SATANIC, DEMONIC, WICKEDNESS AT ITS HIGHEST, BARBARIC.
ReplyDeletePAPA GOD, PLIS CONSOLE N STRENGTHEN THE FAMILIES OF THESE YOUNG BOYS
That Bright is a wanted man! Where r his family members,the police should arrest them,that way he would make himself available.
ReplyDeleteAs for the woman amongst them,it's only God that can judge her ooo. That one na real witch ooo. How can a woman champion the cause for the murder of 4 boys! Oloriburuku, are oshi.
God have mercy.
i am happy their names have been cleared.. Ladun u didnt report this story well. The IG confirmed that they were not theives or cultist but boys who went to collect money owed and the debtor screamed thieves thieves
ReplyDeletethe one I'm looking forward to them arresting is the man in the hoodie who was doing most of the beating and who was at the fore front
ReplyDeleteMay God grant the ALUU4 an enternal rest..Amen!!
ReplyDeleteSo finally its been confirmed dt these young men were innocent, and murdered in front of hundreds of pple - even d police! O Lord where is thy face? May God give their families strength cos I don't knw dem but I'v been drained of emotion concerning these boys. And those dt stood by watching- ur not far from d curses placed on those who killed dem, so watch out, others will watch ur kids and properties been killed, taken and will do nothing abt it. And d Lucky guy - ur generations will b unlucky.sad, sad case. Rest in peace young men, God has vindicated u.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile someone deleted the facebook accounts of the 4 boys. The week of their murder i checked them out on fb but they are no more on fb. Who deleted their FB accounts?????? Meanwhile where are their cellphones also? they need to trace whoever is now using their cellphones.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I thought I was the only person that notice it.
DeleteSo it didn't occur to u that d family might be d ones who deleted the account. If it was my brother, I would do the same , also if someone dies u can request to fb to close the account
DeleteMay they all be made to face the law.
ReplyDeleteMay they all be made to face the law.
ReplyDeleteThank you I thought I was the only that notice that.
ReplyDeleteEvery update makes the case even sadder and so painful. I am SO GLAD they have cleared their name (if nothing at all).
ReplyDeleteKnowing that they were totally innocent, hit home even harder because it could have been me or Ladun or anyone totally random. I just read the Ghana girl story which is similar in the sense that someone accused her, till today no one saw the phone she was accused of stealing so she too could be totally innocent yet she was stripped and assaulted. Lost her job, her boyfriend and all due to that . It’s a very sad world we live in . Hopefully people will learn now to wait till proven guilty before passing judgement/punishment on others

ReplyDeleteFacebook can delete an account of a person who is dead. Becos the relatives of the person who died don't have the password to the persons acct, they can make a report to facebook asking them to close the persons account. Some families leave their deceased's acct open for memories, while some others choose to shut the deceased's acct down.
Drug Addict.........lol. please what have you said that added value . Closed and delete what is the difference. If someone is dead , the family can ask facebook to close the account and then facebook deletes it . Doesnt that mean the same thing. If the family does not request for it then it stays open .
ReplyDeleteSTAY off the drugs, it will help u say something sensible next time
thank GOD FOR ONLINE MEDIA if not na story for end am. thank God
ReplyDeleteThe killers of Aluu 4, should remain in prison till the end of thier life.. Becos they commited the highest. May God almighty grant their soul in perfect peace.. Amen
