This, he said has further been confirmed by preliminary investigations.
Imohimi, disclosed that some the suspects, who were hired, were arrested around the Millennium Housing Estate and have been giving useful information to the police.

“Around the Millennium Housing Estate, and the area around the bridge, we arrested 14 suspects. Some of them have given us useful information.
