Police operatives from the Anambra State Command have arrested the suspected murderer of the father of former Super Eagles player, Chikelu Iloanusi.

According to police report, the suspect was apprehended on Saturday in Anaku, Anyamelum Local Government area of Anambra State.

The Anambra Police PRO, Haruna Mohammed, disclosed this in a statement in Awka. He said that the suspect, Ikechukwu Emilie, was arrested in his hideout at Anaku following intelligence report.

It would be recalled that sometime in 2014, one Pa Iloanusi, 85, and father of Ex-Super Eagles player, Chikelu Iloanusi, was kidnapped and murdered by one Ikechukwu Emilie, a notorious kidnapper, who then terrorized Anaku and Otoucha axis in Anambra State. The suspect was rounded up at Phix Motel, Abagana, where he jumped down from a 3-storey building with handcuff and escaped in 2014. Since then all efforts to get him rearrested was futile.

However, on 27th April, 2019, at about 1.30pm, following credible intelligence, Police detectives attached to the Command Special Anti-Robbery Squad arrested the suspect, Ikechukwu Emilie, 30, in his hideout at Anaku in Anyamelum LGA of Anambra State.

The Police PRO, Haruna Mohammed, said that the suspect will be prosecuted after the conclusion of investigations.
