The Akwa Ibom State Police Command says it will not relent in its effort to rid the state of crime and criminal activities as they have the mercenaries and strategies to do so.


The assurance came as the command through its new strategies paraded a lot of suspects with various criminal offences ranging from murder, cultism, child trafficking, amongst others.


Parading the suspects on Tuesday, 16th June, 2015, at the State Police Headquarters, Ikot Akpan Abia, Assistant Commissioner of Police, State Criminal Investigation Department, Mike Okoli, hinted that officers and men of the Nigeria Police Force, State Criminal Investigation Department, have recorded major progresses in their avowed determination to safe the lives and property of inhabitants of the State.

ACP Okoli said among the suspects arrested so far by the State CID, was one Daniel Michael Edet, 19, a student, from Idoro in Uyo Local Government Area, who killed his aunt, one Glory Edet Ebere, 44.


“This boy (pointed to Daniel Michael Edet) used to live with her aunt, Glory Edet Ebere and after a while, he (Daniel) left her aunt unceremoniously to a destination no one knew about.

Then, recently, 11th June 2015, to be precise, Daniel went back to his aunt’s abode, who eventually lived alone.


Upon arrival, the 44 year old aunt was about leaving for work, so he told the aunt that he wants to comeback, but the woman said no, he should go back to where he stayed.


Daniel then insisted he needs money and at a point, wrestled the aunt to the floor and stabbed her until she gave up the ghost.
